They cover current trends in hybrid work, the expectations and challenges faced by Gen Z workers, and the role of technology in creating an inclusive and engaging work environment.

• Gen Z employees value flexibility and demand it in their jobs, with 89% of them having jobs that allow full flexibility.
• Gen Z workers have a different mindset about work, seeing it as a sandbox where they can do what they like, rather than a pre-constrained task like Tetris.
• Technology plays a crucial role in creating an inclusive and engaging work environment for Gen Z employees, with high expectations for audio and video quality.
• Companies need to focus on providing personal connection and engagement opportunities for Gen Z workers to prevent burnout and retain talent.
