Generation Z, colloquially also known as zoomers (the generation born after 1997 through the 2010s) now account for 61 million workers in the United States. While it is important not to generalize too much, Gen Zers as a whole do possess characteristics and motivations that differ significantly from earlier generations in regards to the workplace. The challenge for managers is to lead your cross-generational team in a way that enables all generations to thrive. This course will provide an overview of Gen Z and some of the key distinctions of this generation as well as provide insight on how to work well together while increasing engagement and productivity.

26% of Gen Zers say recognition motivates them to do their best work.

59% of GenZers say opportunities to learn and grow are extremely important to them when applying for a job.

42% of Gen Zers expect to change jobs at least every 1-3 years.
