The new generation at work: who is Gen Z?
Werk en privé? Net zo fluïde als de tijd waarin we leven. De nieuwe generatie stelt nieuwe grenzen. Transparantie, flexibiliteit en een gezonde werkomgeving zijn belangrijke waarden in de werkmentaliteit van Gen Z.
Work and personal life? As fluid as the times we live in. The new generation sets new boundaries. Transparency, flexibility, and a healthy work environment are key values in Gen Z’s work mentality. Fewer days in the office and more time for passion projects. The generation now entering the workforce simultaneously causes misunderstanding and a lack of cohesion within existing teams.
But who exactly is Gen Z? Prepare for the changing dynamics of the labor market with some practical tips and characteristics of these new team members, born between the late ’90s and 2010!
Flexibility
Starting an hour later in the morning to work out before work? Gen Z values flexibility and strives for a balance between their work and personal lives. They see opportunities for hybrid working and flexible hours as a given. Flexibility enhances the work culture, as it provides a sense of freedom and trust to all generations within an organization.
Transparency
What do you mean by a market-based salary? Clear and transparent communication is key. Gen Z appreciates openness and honesty, from job descriptions to diversity policies and regular feedback sessions.
Learning & development
Gen Z is constantly exposed to global events through their smartphones. They feel the need to continuously develop their skills to be as prepared as possible for uncertain times or unexpected challenges. Encourage engagement and loyalty through training or mentoring programs. An organization with more skills in-house is, of course, a win-win.
Impact
The new generation is growing up amidst social unrest, climate change, and political conflicts. It is more important than ever for organizations to demonstrate their commitment to social issues. Actions speak louder than words. Need help clarifying your CSR policy? Schedule a free introduction call.

It all begins with an idea.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
