Gen Z isn’t the future of the workforce — they are the workforce.

Born between 1997 and 2012, this generation is reshaping how work gets done, how leadership is received, and what workplace culture really means.

So if you're still managing Gen Z with top-down directives and rigid hierarchy, it’s time to pivot.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are not just buzzwords but essential components of successful management strategies. Companies that prioritize DEI often see significant benefits, including enhanced creativity, better decision-making, and a more engaged workforce.

By embracing DEI, managers can drive their teams toward greater innovation, collaboration, and overall success.
