Gen Z and Millennial workers are particularly impacted by generational divides with their managers. Research by the London School of Economics and Protiviti reveals that older managers often struggle to adapt to young hires’ evolving workplace dynamics, leading to diminished productivity, job dissatisfaction, and a sense of insufficient support for developing essential skills among younger gens. However, creating inclusive workplaces that acknowledge generational differences can boost productivity and job satisfaction for everyone involved. Still, some managers express critical views on younger employees’ attitudes, which can further create a more difficult morale—particularly amid ongoing mental health and economic pressures younger gens face.
