"Embracing Gen Z: Your New and Future Colleagues"
Presenter: Sara Meyers, of Knoll
Often referred to as digital natives, Generation Z has never known life without cell phones or the internet. Currently comprising about 20% of the population in the U.S. and Canada, this cohort will soon surpass Millennials as the largest generation globally. However, the newest entrants to the workforce are not simply “young Millennials.” Born between 1995 and 2010, they represent the dawn of a new generation with a unique perspective and passion for making a lasting difference. This brief explores the characteristics and behaviors that define and differentiate this generation, and how that affects their point of view as they prepare to enter the workforce. It seeks to inform and educate those who design and plan workplaces to help them create environments and a corresponding culture that supports and engages these young people. Using a mix of data-based trends, personal narrative and first-person video, this interactive session shares research on how these young people work, learn and socialize in campus and work environments.
