Summary
An incredible transformation is unraveling the workplace – from AI to Zoom. The growth of digital technology, combined with the pandemic, has shifted the rules of work. But there’s arguably a more influential change: the rise of a new generation.Born between 1995 and 2009, Generation Z – or Gen Z – currently accounts for about 2 billion of the world’s population and is expected to represent 27 percent of the workforce by 2025. This could compound the changes to work as we know it, as employers seek to attract and retain new talent.“Generation Z is already having a positive impact on our workforce and our business,” says Sally Henderson, Group Head of Talent at Zurich Insurance Group. “Gen Z employees are really important to us because, let’s face it, they are the future of our company. But you need to understand and meet their expectations, which differ from other generations. And provide purposeful employee experiences, development and future careers. Do this, and you can attract amazing talent with new skills, innovative ideas and diverse perspectives.”How does Gen Z differ from older generations?Gen Z is the first generation to have grown up entirely in the digital age. They have never known the world without the internet; instead, their lives revolve around the latest tech – from smartphones to virtual reality gaming headsets – which play out across a growing mosaic of social media channels. It is this tech savviness – and dependency – that sets them apart from their predecessors: Millennials, Generation X and Baby Boomers.Despite media attention over the phenomenon of “quiet quitting,” a recent survey by Deloitte finds that nearly half of Gen Zs (49 percent) say their job is central to their sense of identity – although this is lower than for Millennials (62 percent). For Gen Zs, their family and friends are more important, and this probably explains why 42 percent of Gen Zs value work-life balance, remote working and flexible leave as their top priorities when looking for a job.Valuing valuesBut what values do Gen Zs look for from prospective employers?Gen Zs expect companies to show, not just tell, how they support people and the planet. And this needs to be communicated in a way that resonates with them on the channels they follow. Diversity, equity and inclusion are very important, and Gen Zs also want their employer to care about the planet. In fact, 55 percent of Gen Zs research a company’s environmental impact and policies before accepting a job – with 17 percent Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

038 Jason Okundaye: Living Archives
Release Date: 06/23/2024
Description: In this episode, we speak to writer Jason Okundaye about his recent book, Revolutionary Acts. We discuss archives as living, moving things, and non-linearity as a mode of articulating queer Black histories. We think about the role of body language, tone of voice, feelings and vulnerabilities in the act of embodied transcription. We think about the notion of 'archival pleasure' and understanding the body and desire as sites of history. We discuss the necessity of oral histories being relational as opposed to extractive, and what it means to push against the 'deficit paradigm', recording stories of Black gay abundance, desire and celebration, as well as making space for mess and discomfort, refusing neat and simplistic narratives of unity within political activism. Jason Okundaye was born to British-Nigerian parents in South London in 1997. He writes essays, features, and profiles on politics and culture for publications such as the Guardian, the London Review of Books, British Vogue, GQ, Vice, Dazed, and i-D. He also co-curates the digital archive ‘Black and Gay, Back in the Day’ documenting Black LGBT life in Britain since the 1970s. His first book, Revolutionary Acts, a social history of Black gay men in Britain, was shortlisted for the Orwell Prize in 2024.
