Carichi eccessivi? No grazie, la GenZ piuttosto lascia il lavoro

Secondo il Report Il Sole 24 Ore e WTW, l’equilibrio vita lavoro è la priorità assoluta, seguito da sicurezza e retribuzione e ambizione di carriera

Carichi eccessivi? No grazie, la GenZ piuttosto lascia il lavoro

By the year 2030, one out of every three workers will belong to Generation Z, those born between 1997 and 2012. However, this generation is also the most financially challenged in the job market, making work-life balance and personal relationships more important than salary and career. For those under 30, the top benefit is free time, and they value small-sized teams that allow for real interaction and personal/professional growth.

Ignoring or failing to understand Gen Z's expectations could lead to a slowdown in productivity, with one-third of the workforce potentially leaving. To address this, the "Gen Z Intelligence Report" was created, the first continuous Italian study on Generation Z and their relationship with the workforce, conducted by Il Sole 24 ORE, with 24 ORE Ricerche and Studi, in partnership with WTW and collaborating with University Box.

The report aims to help companies design more attractive, inclusive organizations capable of navigating the future of work. The data shows that work-life balance is the top priority (60.4%), followed by stability/security (47.6%), which surpasses salary (39.6%) and career ambition (29.8%). Understanding Gen Z's expectations, values, and needs is crucial for businesses to adapt to the ever-changing job market.
