POPULARITY
They'd rather put money in savings than see a concert. They expect brands to share their worldviews. They will forgive mistakes, but NOT inauthenticity. These are just a few of the broad generalizations that Dr. Corey Seemiller has found in her studies of Gen Z. A professor and researcher at Wright State University, her insights have been featured in NPR, The New York Times, and Time Magazine, and she has published numerous works, including the acclaimed books Generation Z Goes to College and Generation Z Leads. In the global Gen Z study she led, Dr. Seemiller and her team engaged over 30,000 participants from 81 countries, making it one of the largest studies on this demographic. Typically defined as those who were born between 1995-2010, these young people aged 15-30 constitute a growing percentage of consumer spending. And, as Gen Z comes of age, small businesses must tailor their marketing and branding to court this demographic. In this episode, we'll ask Dr. Seemiller: What are the core values and beliefs that define Gen Z? How does technology impact Gen Z's interactions with brands? How can small businesses create memorable interactions that foster loyalty? How should brands approach issues that are important to Gen Z? How will Gen Z evolve as consumers in the years ahead?

Die angeblich mangelnde Leistungsbereitschaft junger Erwachsener und ihre Forderung nach einer stärkeren Work Life Balance wird im Moment gerne diskutiert. Wir fragen nach, was angehende Erzieherinnen von dieser Diskussion halten, wie sie von Ihren Dozentinnen eingeschätzt werden und inwieweit Kitas auch von den Kompetenzen dieser neuen Generation profitieren können.
A podcast about work, the future and how they will go together
We all know what ‘ imposter syndrome' is as it relates to the workplace – the idea that you do not really belong, but are faking it as you are surrounded by people more competent than you. Then again, maybe that's a generational thing and maybe Gen Z will be the first generation that does not feel that way. That is the view of Corey Seemiller, a Gen Z expert and Professor at Wright State University. She joins Linda Nazareth on this episode to talk about why Gen Z's upbringing and experiences are giving them a different, more confident view of work and what that means for the future.

What You Will Learn: Why Generation Z as a cohort is the most broadly diverse generation in history, and why DEI expectations from Generation Z in the workplace are important to understand Why Generation Z often defines Diversity as “who we are”, and why Cultural Competence is a crucial skill to help navigate their workplace expectations Why greater inclusivity in Generation Z's upbringing has played a big role in defining their expectations for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the workplace Why Generation Z is adept at creating systemic and social change through collective advocacy Why generations engage differently with DEI workplace issues, and what differences are found in DEI expectations between Millennials and Generation Z in the workplace Why members of older generations often assume that Generation Z is inherently more culturally competent even though it isn't necessarily true How Generation Z finds strong motivation from making a difference for the people who matter to them Why it isn't possible to make blanket statements about Generation Z, and why their views on DEI work can vary broadly What steps you can take to better engage with Generation Z in the workplace around DEI issues DEI Expectations from Generation Z in the Workplace In episode 91 of the What's The Difference podcast, my guests were Dr. Corey Seemiller and Dr. Meghan Grace, researchers who study Generation Z, the generational cohort of people born between 1997 and 2012. We had a remarkable discussion about things employers should be aware of that can help the transition as more and more of these people join the workforce. In this encore episode, Dr. Seemiller and Dr. Grace join me for an even deeper discussion about Generation Z in the workplace, their DEI expectations, and how this Generation differs from their older peers. Generation Z in the Workplace: The Most Diverse Generation in History Not only is Generation Z incredibly diverse racially and ethnically, they've also grown up in an environment in which we openly discuss Diversity in a way that our society hasn't done before. This means that members of Generation Z hold a greater expectation for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and they're adept at recognizing and challenging inequities while working within the existing framework and systems that exist in their work environments. How Gen Z pushes back against these inequities also differs from previous generations. Whereas sit-ins were popular in the 1960s to protest racial injustice, Gen Z today uses viral social media content to spread awareness and amplify their voices. They often focus on collective effort and recognize the strength of numbers. Diversity in Perspectives It's important to remember that with greater Diversity comes more perspectives and points of view. We must avoid making the mistake of blanket assumptions about Generation Z in the workplace, such as believing that they are inherently more Culturally Competent than previous generations. As Dr. Seemiller and Dr. Grace pointed out in our conversation, it's also important to engage with members of the majority when it comes to DEI issues. While members of Generation Z from marginalized groups are often adept at advocating for themselves, it is the majority that holds the power to enact real change. By engaging their extraordinary ability to work collectively, Generation Z can truly become a catalyst for greater Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the workplace.

Generation Z in the Workplace What You Will Learn: How Meghan and Corey each found their way to generational research and began studying Generation Z in the workplace How Corey and Meghan each bring their own perspectives to the research due to belonging to different generational cohorts How the scope of Corey and Meghan's work has grown over time, and why they have focused on qualitative data What common misperceptions exist around Generation Z in the workplace, and what key formative experiences the generational cohort has collectively experienced What important points to be aware of about Generation Z as they begin to enter the workforce Why there are patterns within cultural groups in their experiences and perspectives, but why it is important to remember that these patterns aren't universal Corey and Meghan share some of the common patterns in how Generation Z sees hierarchy, individuality, leadership and transparency How Corey and Meghan's research shows that the perception that Generation Z is flighty or less likely to stay with one company is a misconception What steps Diversity, Equity and Inclusion practitioners can take to better engage with Generation z in the workplace Generation Z in the Workplace Generation Z includes anyone born between 1997 and 2012. This means that in 2021, the oldest members of this generational cohort are turning 22 years old. As members of Generation Z begin entering the workforce, it is important for employers to address some of the commonalities and misconceptions surrounding these young adults. My guests for this week's episode of the What's The Difference podcast are Dr. Corey Seemiller and Dr. Meghan Grace, generational researchers and the co-authors of Generation Z: A Century in the Making. During our conversation, we discussed several of the major misconceptions that are often held about Generation Z that aren't supported by the facts. It is important to note that, while common patterns do appear within members of any generation, those patterns are by no means universal. It is important to remember that every individual is unique and that generalizations don't always apply. Common Misconceptions About Generation Z One of the most common misconceptions people tend to hold about Generation Z is that they're “glued to their phones”, that they excel in technology but struggle to operate without it. As Corey and Meghan explained, members of every generation have adapted to smartphone technology. Generation Z is the first generation to have never seen life before the internet, it's true, but the evidence shows that they aren't significantly more attached to their phones than other age groups. Generation Z can also be seen as flighty, ready to leave their employer for another job opportunity at any moment. However, Corey and Meghan's research shows that Generation Z will happily stay with an employer, provided their needs and expectations are being met. Many members of Generation Z value transparency and honesty from their employers, and they want to feel satisfaction in their work. Addressing the Needs and Expectations of Generation Z in the Workplace Many members of Generation Z value diversity, equity and inclusion, and they are adept at detecting inauthentic action. If a DEI practitioner truly wants to engage with Generation Z employees, it is important to be authentic about your work. If a business says they value diversity and inclusion but their senior staff is made up exclusively of straight, white, cisgender men, their DEI messaging might very well appear inauthentic. As another example, if a business changes to a rainbow logo for LGBTQ+ Pride month in June but then does nothing to show support for the LGBTQ+ community and employees within the organization who identify in that community, Generation Z employees may call attention to this lack of alignment between stated DEI messaging and an organization's visible actions.

And in a very different context.""...this is just one of the hundreds, if not thousands, of examples of a Gen Zer saying, 'I don't trust leaders to make decisions that are in my best interest. I don't trust the system. I'm going to just go ahead and start doing things that I think are going to make a difference because that's the only power and agency that I have.'""I'm going to be curious to track that over this election, and certainly the next couple of years to see if their notion of creating change involves basically playing within the existing systems, as well as working around them. I think that there they has a multi-tiered approach.""The most frequent role they play is The Doer. A lot of 'I want somebody to tell me what to do, give me direction, and then I'll go do it. I don't really want to be in charge of other people. I don't really want to be in charge of the process.'"Resources Mentioned in This EpisodeSparks and HoneyPew Research Center - Generation ZThe Science of Happiness

Dr. Corey Seemiller discusses her latest research on Generation Z and what you need to know about them.
What are the unique characteristics of Generation Z, or those born from 1995-2010? How should our college and university organizations, environments, policies, and curriculum adapt to best meet the needs of this newest generation to come to campus? What do student affairs educators need to know to best engage and connect with students from Generation Z? Corey Seemiller and Meghan Grace, authors of Generation Z Goes to College, write, “Although some characteristics may look similar to the Millennial Generation, Generation Z brings a whole new set of attributes and experiences to higher education.”
