Dr. Meghan Grace leads Gen Z research at the Institute of Generational Research and Education and leads research and data strategies at learning and development consultancy Plaid. She sheds light on who the youngest workers in the labor market are—a group whom leaders and managers across all sectors are struggling to attract, engage, and retain. Meghan shares illuminating research findings about Gen Z's college experiences. She explains their concerns and desires are as they enter the workforce and develop their careers as well as how they respond to our new work environments.     KEY TAKEAWAYS   [03:12] Meghan's Gen-Z-focused career began by accident at a staff retreat.   [04:48] Meghan and her research partner's first study in 2014 was on Gen Zs then still in their teens.   [05:39] Understanding “peer personalities” in generational theory and differences between Millennials and Gen Z which begin before college.   [07:36] Gen Z's world feels bigger and their collective reactions to society and the world shapes their peer personality.   [08:39] How multimedia consumption of information differs by generation.   [09:35] Meghan's research was initially driven by the need to ensure colleges and universities are structured and supporting students effectively.   [11:41] Their studies have always been mindful of exploring Gen Z's from several different angles.   [12:42] While themes haven't changed, Gen Z's have evolved over the seven years of studies.   [13:00] Gen Z's major issues/concerns: stability (especially financial), healthcare, and homelessness.   [14:10] How Generation Z has been affected by watching the challenges older adults have been facing.   [15:14] Safety and security-related issues are also key issues relating to mass violence, sexual predators, climate and environment, and inclusion.   [18:52] Without shared values—such as integrity—Gen Z feels a trust gap with older generations.   [21:47] This young generation is maturing and developing agency—such as in politics.   [23:00] Collaboration between Millennials and Gen Zs could positively influence change at work.   [26:30] Meghan observed Generation Z dealing with very tough conditions during the pandemic with maturity and grace.   [29:20] Many of this generation missed an important year when young adults typically develop their world view through different social interactions and settings.   [32:19] Gen Zs were talking about work-related issues such as flexible work structures, financial stability, and meaningful work before the pandemic.   [33:02] Gen Z's priorities are the same as most employees'.   [34:18] It is easy for the youngest generation to be the scapegoat, and they may be the loudest voices as a cohort, however, they aren't creating the trend.   [36:04] Core values and characteristics to attract and keep Gen Z: meaningful work, transparent and empathetic leadership, and an opportunity to participate.   [37:57] Side hustles are integral to the concept of work for this multi-faceted generation—whether developing multiple income streams or monetizing a passion.   [39:20] The world of the “lifer” is over—time at any company can be viewed as a “productive layover” for both sides.   [41:05] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: Gen Z's don't take themselves too seriously and are willing to share if you ask, with curiosity and care.   [43:13] How to approach questions—recognizing vulnerability in the conversation—by channeling Ted Lasso's “That is fascinating”!   [46:05] The issue of “shared language” for different cultures, companies, and generations.     RESOURCES   Meghan Grace Ed. D. on LinkedIn Meghan on Twitter Meghan on Instagram Meghan's website Institute for Generational Research and Education For recent research visit Global Gen Z Study Meghan's podcast: #GenZ     QUOTES    “Gen Z's world feels bigger because their access to the world is bigger.”   “Financial security is at the top of the Gen Z list of concerns.”   “Gen Z is losing patience with older generations.”   “They're heavily responsible to the people they love.” [about Gen Z]   “While we're all being very serious about Gen Z, they don't take themselves too seriously.”   “We are living in the same world, but we are all living in very different worlds at the same time because we exist in different spaces and different mindsets.”

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.

(2021, September 1).  Teaching (and Hearing) Generation Z.  (Episode 25; Track #35).  Guests:  Dr. Corey Seemiller, Dr. Meghan Grace, Connor Huggins, Isabelle Johnson, Darren Kirsch, Sarah Knowlton, and Kristen Stewart.

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.

Born from 1995-2010, Generation Z makes up the majority of the traditionally-aged college student population. And they’re not the Millennials that came before them. As each generation grows up, there are myths and misunderstanding that follow them. This conversation features Karli Farrel, a current IU student and French Horn performance major in the Jacobs School of Music, who hosts Meghan Grace, a generational researcher, in a dialogue about Generation Z in college. Karli and Meghan discuss challenges Gen Z faces in this age of political polarization, 365/24/7 information overload, and expectation to maintain a “perfect” social media presence. Grace emphasizes the importance of getting to know this generation. The conversation addresses ways faculty can help this generation succeed in the classroom and prepare our Gen Z students for the workplace and meaningful lives after college. ​

Meghan Grace is an expert on Generation Z, an international speaker, author, podcast host, and consultant. She started researching Generation Z in 2013 and has since co-authored three books: Generation Z Goes to College, Generation Z Leads, and Generation Z: A Century in the Making. 

For years, industry experts have only talked about how millennials will change the workforce. Well, they're here and are making up a large part of the workforce already. But what about this other generation trickling into the workforce? Generation Z: are they a replica of the millennial generation or are they vastly different? That's what Corey Seemiller and Meghan Grace sought out to define in their new book Generation Z: A Century in the Making. In this episode, they share who Generation Z is, how they'll impact the workforce, and how employers can prepare for this new generation.

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.”
