“In a few years, 30% of the workforce will be Gen Zs. Highly collaborative and social, this generation values flexibility and non-hierarchical leadership. Being part of the internet-related technologies from birth, they expect speed and scale in all aspects, being how people work, play, shop or find new friends."

 Dorna Eriksson Shafiei, Vice President Talent & Learning

“Gen Z’s characteristics reflect the broader shifts we are seeing in customers and society as a whole. This generation highly values diversity and want to find their own unique identity, personalizing the employee experience will for sure be key, starting from the onboarding experience all the way to the off boarding.”
