Synopsis

Are you Gen Z or managing Gen Z professionals? This book will provide invaluable insights for both on how to bridge the generation gap and help Gen Z succeed at work and in their careers.

There is a great deal of discussion about generation gaps and how they create challenges in the workplace. The key questions are:

• How can managers and supervisors conquer institutional age segregation (the age divide) so they can better hire, retain, and coach their teams?
• Does the youngest generation in the workforce - Gen Z (born after 1995) - have the skills to set themselves up for success at work?

In Generation Z in the Workplace, multigenerational workplace scholar, Dr. Candace Steele Flippin, offers research-based insights and easy to follow suggestions aimed at helping young workers and their supervisors build working relationships and productive work environments.

Generation Z in the Workplace explores insights from our young, up-and-coming workforce and helps readers understand what Gen Z wants from their careers. Furthermore, it also provides insights for managers to better understand Gen Z personal and professional values and how those values impact their behaviors and perceptions about work and career.

Gen Z workers will discover:

• How to communicate and work with other generations;
• The benefits of building a support network;
• How to make the most of less-than-ideal first jobs;
• Why it makes sense to learn the “traditional” way of doing business;
• How to create a career development plan.

Supervisors of Gen Z will learn:

• How to manage younger workers;
• How to help Gen Z workers grow even if promotions are not available;
• What are Generation Z’s top career priorities;
• Why fast promotions are so important for Gen Z workers;
• How Gen Z’s comfort level with technology can help drive innovation.

Generation Z in the Workplace provides a much-needed blueprint for success for both managers and Gen Z professionals in or entering the workforce. It is perfect for supervisors interested in improving their office management and communication skills while providing invaluable tips that will help Gen Z better integrate and plan their careers.

Review

"The workplace of the 90s and early 2000s vastly differs from the workplace of today. Not only are methodologies and technologies different, the individuals who inhabit these spaces are varied as well. This cohort (Gen Z) differs in approaches to problem-solving, in communication methods, in expectations, and in interpersonal skills due to the rise of social media. In this profound yet simple "how-to" book, Dr. Flippin provides a roadmap of how to approach differences within multigenerational workplaces and use those differences for the benefit of everyone. This book is for the Gen Z workforce and for those who employ them. It moves people out of their comfort zone and encourages them to take advantage of multigenerational differences, build better relationships and support success in the workplace for all. Generation Z in the Workplace is a timely book that is much needed in our workspaces, including the non-profit and volunteer sectors as well."

"What a wonderful guide to navigating Generation Z. I work at tech company and I'm surrounded by Gen Z and constantly struggle how to communicate. This is helpful road map to understand their prospective and gain insight. I firmly believe this will save me from wasted efforts and allow me to connect with this generation who are clearly driving the next generation of tech."

"It is easy to put generations on stereotype. And the book here is important to help us remove or lessen the effect of stereotype we use to put on generation. The book is an attempt to open windows among generation; it helps us better understand each other and not to see people, especially individuals just numbers or categories. It clarifies that each has his or her own history, stories, and circumstances that for his or her character in a unique way. If we put others in categories or keep each in features according to a stereotype created by our style of mindset, actually we will not limit the features of others, but we will limit ourselves; we will limit our chance to better understand others, and our opportunities to reach the truth of people. Stereotype is the prison of the stereotype creators themselves. The book is helpful to find ways to get people, especially women, close to each other in a clear and better way; it is an attempt to traverse the limitation located in our mindset about each other. The point of view is important not only when we deal with women, but with anybody whether women, or men."

"This was a great book. I love the practical application of the questions and exercises throughout. I found that I was able to apply information in the book almost immediately. I particularly enjoyed Chpt. 5 on attitudes about other generations at work. Exercise #5 on creating a career planning map was not only helpful to my staff but to me as well. Finally, as a supervisor of generation z staff, I found the checklist for supervisors really helpful. I have already recommended this book to a few colleagues. For anyone managing other he stations, this book is a great resource!"

"Generation Z in the Workplace: Helping the Newest Generation in the Workforce Build Successful Working Relationships and Career Paths (Generations in the Workplace: Gen Z) is a well-constructed and informative blueprint that not only transports the reader into the minds of Gen Z workers but also lays the foundation for positive interactions among multigenerational offices. As a supervisor who works with traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials and Gen Z, I will utilize the value-centered tips and approaches to improve productivity levels and office morale. Dr. Flippin's groundbreaking study will serve Gen Z employees and supervisors for many years to come and should be required reading for everyone in the workplace!"
