Gen Z in the workplace

What is Gen Z?

Gen Z (Generation Z) consists of people born between 1997 and 2012. They grew up with modern, mobile technology. They are used to flexibility, autonomy and direct access to information. They effortlessly use digital tools and apps, collaborate easily in a mobile environment and find it normal to use their own device. For Gen Z, tasks and roles often overlap. They think less in fixed structures and more in collaboration and results.

Be attractive to Gen Z with Enterprise Mobility

This young generation of employees expects to be able to work wherever and whenever possible. Mobile working is an important condition. Gen Z employees are used to organizing their studies, communication and planning via apps — and expect nothing different at work. They like to work with modern HR tools for requesting leave, reporting sick or viewing work schedules, reports or performance. The input of young talent is valuable to your organization. This generation thinks along, suggests improvements and wants to make an impact. If you want to be attractive to these young employees as an organization, you would do well to offer them all the possibilities and move with the latest developments. In other words, make optimal use of Enterprise Mobility.

Make sure your cybersecurity is on point

Ensuring security is a vital task, because with all those mobile devices, platforms and apps your vulnerability only increases. Access to data must be properly and securely arranged. How do you arrange that? Who gets access to which data, what are employees allowed to do and what are they not allowed to do?

Flexibility on the work floor

Thanks to Enterprise Mobility, more and more processes are supported via mobile technology. There is also more and more software for digital work processes on the market that provides control over workflows and provides flexibility on the work floor. Employees are controlled via their mobile device during their work. For example, an employee in the supermarket can receive a signal that there is a customer looking for a specific product. On his device he can see whether the product is still in stock or when the stock will be replenished. This allows him to help the customer better. In the same way, an order picker in a warehouse can be called in because someone is sick. It is very useful for the organization that all these options are already available in the device.

Workforce innovation is also moving along

Workforce innovation means that organizations strategically use technology, automation and new working methods to improve productivity, collaboration and results. This involves the use of digital tools, AI, cloud computing and data-driven decision-making. This allows you as an organization to improve the employee experience, streamline your processes and become just a bit more attractive to Gen Z than another company.
