Many see leaving on time and refusing Sunday emails as disengagement; for Generation Z, it’s what makes work sustainable.
They spot talk that’s just for show in seconds, prefer a clear message to an hour-long meeting, and often write prompts better than their manager. This module helps you understand this generation: its three core expectations, how it works with others, and the paradox of entering a world of work where AI is taking over the very tasks that used to train beginners.
