Gen Z is experiencing a slump in workplace engagement. Morale among employees under 35-years-old has dropped so much that they are now less engaged than their older colleagues—a trend not seen since 2007. According to Gallup’s latest findings, only 40% of Gen Z feel clear about what is expected of them at work. And just one factor in this issue is uncertainty about the long-term impact of artificial intelligence on their jobs; 78% of adults under-30-years-old worry that AI will reduce job opportunities, compared to just 45% of those 65-and-older. And in terms of office life, many young workers perceive their workplace as increasingly chaotic and unwelcoming. Trends of significant layoffs, return to the office mandates, and the discontinuation of DEI programs are also contributing to this outlook. (Business Insider)
