Now that Millennials are hitting 40, Generation Z is getting into the workplace and making it their own.
, millennials are set to make up 75 per cent of the workforce by 2025. Generation Z, the oldest of whom are now in their mid-20s, have also begun entering the workforce in the past few years.
But these differences aren’t necessarily a bad thing, and can be used to create a more dynamic, productive workplace. “Baby Boomers have a depth and wealth of knowledge, while Generation Z have fresh eyes, and may have faster ways of doing things or engaging clients,” she says. This new generation also represents the emerging consumer, and so listening to them can give companies key insights into how to evolve and stay relevant.
“Younger midwives demonstrate a greater understanding of burnout, and the things they need to do in terms of preventing it. It’s something that has been really obvious to the older staff and something they can learn from,” she says. Wilkes says the trend of younger generations having greater confidence to go for what they want, rather than “paying their dues” first, has certainly been seen in her line of work. Her practice includes Australia’s youngest endorsed midwife, who is 24.
But, Seker observes that younger teachers “aren’t as equipped when coming out of university to handle certain challenges”, like dealing with different behaviours and personalities in the classroom. While more experienced teachers can leave these difficulties behind when they go home, this isn’t always the case for those just starting out.
