Gen Z is not Quiet Quitting, they are telling us precisely what they want from their employer.
The misconception about Gen Z is that they are lazy, don’t want to work hard, and have no ambition, so they quit their jobs. That is not true – they want a fulfilling career with MORE meaning and impact than their parents insisted upon.
For Gen Z, careers no longer dictate family, lifestyle, and personal growth. The opposite is true: lifestyle dictates career. These young professionals want to work for an employer that helps them find a balance between life and career and helps them have a more significant impact on the world.
The older generations are beginning to listen to Gen Z because they are on to something big. They want meaning and purpose in their lives, not just a job.
Gen Z is searching for a purpose in life that maximizes their emotional well-being. And Gen Z is no longer the only generation asking. Contributors across all generations, functions, and businesses are asking their employers to Help Them Succeed by helping them align their career, lifestyle, family, and personal growth - while impacting the world.
