Having problems with Gen Z team members? Got tension across generations?
Of course you have, it’s 2025 and for the first time in history we have 5 generations working together.
Good news is we’ve had great success fixing this for teams.
SPOTLIGHT WORKSHOP
Engaging Gen Z in the Workplace
We’ve decided that Gen Z are a bit like a Rubik's Cube – colourful, complex, and sometimes unbelievably frustrating. According to the World Economic Forum, Gen Z will account for more 25% of the workforce by end of this year. Last year, a study by Mccrindle found 72% of Gen Z workers were looking to leave their current role, 21% actually did! That leaves a staggering 51% disengaged and on the brink of departure.
The fallout? A surge in “sick” days, silently quitting on the clock and resignations, costing businesses and added workload for managers.
We see the greatness of Gen Z with their strong values, their relationship with technology as digital natives and their flexibility with change. If correctly engaged this makes Gen Z a highly valuable and productive group.
We’re excited to partner with you to activate changes to engage Gen Z employees. We achieve this by running research-based workshops with your managers and with Gen Z employees. These help you build insights, plans and actions that are unique to your organisation and which achieve Gen Z engagement, financial payback and cultural benefits.

They may do things differently, but new research suggests younger workers are often the most engaged and motivated segment of a company’s workforce. “Potter says the workshops encourage employees to reserve judgment and be curious about why their older or younger colleagues do things differently.”

Talking about your generation.
We don’t stand for stereotypes - our workshops are about looking behind the negative headlines, exploring generational norms and sharing the latest research. We then use that to better understand the differences between individuals but, more importantly, finding the commonalities. Then find ways of bridging the gaps, capitalising on the shared values and improving our ways of working.
