Overview

Think Gen Z is lazy, disengaged, and impossible to manage? Think again. 

Every generation brings its own priorities and challenges to the workplace. Gen Z is no exception - but the headlines don’t tell the whole story.

Some say they’re entitled and unwilling to work. Others say they’re redefining what it means to be productive and engaged. So which is it?

If you’ve ever:

  • Felt frustrated by Gen Z employees who push back on “the way we’ve always done it”
  • Wondered whether their demands for flexibility, feedback, and purpose are reasonable or excessive
  • Seen friction grow between Gen Z and older team members
  • Questioned how much you really need to adapt your management style
  • Worried about whether treating them differently could create legal risks

 

You’re not alone - and you’re right to ask these questions.

Here’s the reality:

Gen Z wants to work, but they want work that works. They’ve grown up connected, informed, and skeptical of organizations that can’t explain the “why” behind the rules. They expect feedback, and 73% say they would consider quitting if they don’t get it.

On top of generational shifts, American workplaces have also been reshaped by:

  • Post-pandemic turnover and retirements
  • Digital transformation and AI
  • New demands for flexibility and remote work
  • Disrupted budgets and customer expectations

 

All of this has left teams fractured and managers unsure how to build trust and performance across generations.

Areas Covered in the Session

This webinar shows you how to cut through the stereotypes and lead with confidence. You will learn how to:

  • Separate fact from fiction about Gen Z’s workplace behaviors and priorities
  • Adjust recruiting, engagement, and retention strategies to meet the needs of all generations
  • Provide meaningful feedback that keeps Gen Z motivated without alienating others
  • Build clear business goals and explain the “why” behind policies to gain buy-in
  • Foster trust and alignment through full communication and team-building that focuses on relationships, not generational labels
  • Address legal and ethical considerations when balancing generational needs
  • You don’t need to decode Gen Z. You need to lead like a grown-up.

Reserve your spot now and learn how to turn generational differences into business results.
