The term generation Z or Gen Z is certainly familiar. This term refers to individuals born from 1997 to 2012 as reported by Investopedia.
Gen Z is known to have different characteristics from previous generations. No exception in the world of work. This generation is often nicknamed as jumping bugs because they often change jobs in a short time.
Apart from that, are there also several other habits that Gen Z often do in the world of work? What are they? Let’s look at the review below.
Depends On Technology

Generation Z is a generation that does not feel what it would be like to live without the internet or sophisticated technology. Therefore, it is not surprising that in the world of work they are very dependent on technology.
They can access various information and communications easily via video calls, WhatsApp and other electronic-based services. However, Gen Z apparently prefers to communicate with professional contacts directly.
Competitive Spirit

Another habit of Gen Z in the world of work is that they like competition. This is because Gen Z is used to growing up in an environment where competition is fierce, making their competitive spirit higher than previous generations.
In the world of work, Gen Z will probably not hesitate to ask for feedback from superiors. The goal is so that they can improve their performance at work.
Need Healing

Compared to the baby boomers and millennials, generation Z is more concerned and open about mental health. Therefore, when they feel stressed and burnt out at work, people born in this generation choose to heal for a moment.
Enjoy working alone

Working together in a team is actually not a problem for Gen Z. However, they prefer to work on projects alone.
By working independently, Gen Z can show their skills and abilities to their superiors or co-workers.
Prioritize Work-Life Balance
