What you need to know:
Gen Z will make up 27% of the workforce by 2025 and they feel strongly about DEIB.
68% of Gen Z workers are not satisfied with their organisation’s progress in creating a diverse and inclusive work environment, and 56% would not accept a role in an organisation without diverse leadership.
52% of Gen Z workers say companies are not doing enough to protect our planet, with younger generations predicted to be 4 to 7 times more exposed to heatwaves in their lifetimes than older generations.
More than ever before, workers want to know where companies stand on issues they feel passionately about. Employers need to demonstrate their social and environmental impact with a more science-based approach.
They need to focus on creating “Net Positive” employment— broadening diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging, increasing individual employability, and giving workers greater control of their prosperity so they can feel confident they have the skills for today—and tomorrow.
