How millennials and Gen Z are reshaping the future of the workforce via CNBCMakeIt
Millennials and their younger"Gen Z" counterparts are used to facing sweeping criticism over their commitment to the workplace. Brandished the work-shy generation of"snowflake" tendencies, millennials are said to expect too much freedom of their employers, and yet 84 percent report to experiencing burnout from their excessive workloads.
For instance, just one in 10 baby boomers feel they are personally responsible for reskilling as technology threatens the stability of many traditional careers. Conversely, three times as many millennials and Gen Z-ers believe the onus is on them, rather than their employer, to develop new skills. Millennials and Gen Z currently account for slightly over a third of the workforce . In the next decade, that figure is set to shoot up to 58 percent, making the youthful generations the most dominant in the workplace. With that will come a greater number of them in managerial positions, too. Already today, 48 percent of younger generation managers are director level or higher.
"As they ascend into managerial positions, they're ditching traditional, archaic models of work in favor of a flexible, remote workforce. They'll work with more freelancers, invest in reskilling and empower their teams to work remotely."
