Generation Z<\/a>It refers to the young generation born between 1997 and 2012, and this generation is involved in the business world with different perspectives and expectations. Here's how to summarize the conflict Z generation has had with the business world in 10 articles:<\/p>\n1. Problems of Harmony with Traditional Hierarchy<\/h3>\n
Generation Z is a generation that prefers flexible and horizontal structures. Traditional, rigid hierarchical structures can limit this generation's desire for creative thinking and innovation, which can lead to conflicts in the workplace.<\/p>\n
The Answer to Generation Z:<\/strong> We want to expand the range of companies with traditional and rigid hierarchy, that is, to develop the company we're in and strengthen their connections. We are aware that if these structures do not expand their range and lead to the next generation, they will unfortunately not find a place in the future. So we think that innovation is always necessary, that innovation will take us into the future.<\/em><\/p>\n2. Demands for Work-Life Balance<\/strong><\/h3>\nGeneration Z places great emphasis on work-life balance. Reacting to long working hours, this generation demands flexible working hours and remote working opportunities. These demands can cause conflicts with employers.<\/p>\n
The Answer to Generation Z:<\/strong> Through flexible and remote work opportunities, we can work remotely, fulfilling our duties and responsibilities even when we cannot go to work. Long and daily work in the same place, in the same environment; it can dull our creativity, cause us to get bored with working life, want to get away, fail to perform our duties and responsibilities, 'exhaustibility syndrome' as seen in most of Generation Y. Which, unfortunately, can cause us to walk away from work.<\/em><\/p>\n3. Technology-Focused Work Culture<\/strong><\/h3>\nGeneration Z is a generation that grows with technology and wants to use it effectively in the workplace. In companies that adhere to traditional methods, this generation may feel inadequate or blocked.<\/p>\n
The Answer to Generation Z:<\/strong> Technology is a tool that allows us to access information and data from all over the world, making working life easier when used correctly and effectively, not only to make our working lives easier, but also to improve the company we are in. So it is natural that we want to use this tool in the most effective and active way possible and that we feel blocked and inadequate if we do not use it\/are unable to use it. It is impossible to obtain the information and data we need only from books, experienced people.<\/em><\/p>\n4. Value-Focused Work Request<\/strong><\/h3>\nGeneration Z expects the companies it works with to have ethical values. This generation, which cares about issues such as environmental awareness, social responsibility and fair trade, may not choose to work in companies that do not carry these values.<\/p>\n
The Answer to Generation Z:<\/strong> Ethical values are very important not only for Generation Z, but also for our past and future generations. Through environmental awareness, we can make the world we live in more livable, improve our ability to empathize by engaging in social responsibility projects, maintain competition with fair trade, strengthen trade links between countries.<\/em><\/p>\n5. Career Development and Feedback Expectations<\/strong><\/h3>\nGeneration Z expects constant feedback and rapid progress in their careers. Traditional annual evaluation processes may be insufficient to meet these expectations.<\/p>\n
The Answer to Generation Z:<\/strong> We demand monthly\/weekly evaluation processes through the sector we are in instead of annual evaluation processes, as the feedback we want to receive will help us to move forward with the right steps in our career, develop ourselves\/teammates, find out what is expected of us and how much we are meeting those expectations.<\/em><\/p>\n
