How to make work, work in 2024
Is this it? Will 2024 be the year we finally get our groove back with work? In some cases, the return-to-office memos have been sent while in others, hybrid has been cemented as the future way of working. Regardless, everyone is hoping we might all settle into a work year that holds a little less turbulence for organisations and employees everywhere.
However, we’re at another tipping point. For the first time ever, Gen Z is set to surpass boomers in the workforce. And it hasn’t been happening so quietly. Headlines have ranged from celebrities to psychologists or CEOs talking about a disengaged generation, coining terms like “quiet quitting” and “lazy girl jobs” that reflect a lack of connection and perceived effort. At the same time, the youngest generation (and fastest-growing workforce segment) are stuck with massive student loans, have had to launch careers from home, faced several “once in a lifetime” phenomena, and are making sense of a world in amongst conflict, inflation, and an economic rollercoaster.
In this piece of research, we wanted to better understand engagement, belonging, career drive and productivity across the entire workforce, and specifically Gen Z. Having surveyed 14 countries around the world, the results shed new light on the root causes of disengagement at work, why flexibility is the newest generation’s number one priority and how connection in the virtual and physical environments could go a lot further than you might think to keep everyone in the workforce productive.
