1. Today's choices in work, tomorrow's generational legacy
The decisions leaders make today will shape the world for generations, especially in areas like AI, sustainability, and social equity. With five generations now working side by side, our workplaces are buzzing with diverse experiences and skills. This generational mix is not just a trend but a response to aging populations and declining birth rates in advanced economies, which will continue to impact the workforce through 2050. The real challenge is tapping into this diversity to tackle today’s complex issues. EY’s latest research shows how crucial it is to understand generational dynamics to boost collaboration and spark innovation. Leaders must build inclusive, multi-generational teams to drive growth and create a meaningful legacy…?
2. The ultimate generational balancing act?
The workforce is changing, and it's all about generations. Did you know that 38% of employees, especially the younger crowd, are ready to jump ship within the next year for a job that feels more "them"? So, what’s a company to do? It’s all about having a solid talent strategy that adapts to this undeniable generational shift. Forget the old-school one-size-fits-all approach. For example, Gen Z is all about paid time-off and performance bonuses, while Baby Boomers just want their paychecks to keep up with the cost of living. Here's how businesses can create a workplace where everyone, from entry level to directors, feels valued…?
3. Gen Z’s crash course?
Picture this: the youngest of Gen Z (those born in 2007) are just wrapping up high school, while the oldest (those born in 1997) are hitting their late 20s, making them the generation with the longest exposure to AI technology. But are they actually ready for it? Sure, there's a lot of excitement about how GenAI can boost productivity and free up time for more meaningful work. However, while Gen Z seems to get the basics of AI, they're not as confident in spotting its flaws. There's also a big difference in how AI is encouraged at school versus work. So, are we setting them up for success or confusion? One thing is clear: educators and businesses need to team up to ensure Gen Z is truly ready to thrive in an AI-powered world…?

4. Phishing for confidence?
Cybersecurity is a hot topic these days, especially with AI making threats even more complex. EY's latest research shows a big generational gap in how we handle these challenges. Gen Z and millennials, even though they grew up with tech, feel less prepared to tackle AI-driven threats compared to older folks. And, they’re more worried about making a slip-up that could cost them their jobs. 64% of Gen Z and 58% of millennials, to be exact. To ease these fears, companies need to invest in ongoing, easy-to-understand training and create a supportive culture. Simplifying reporting processes and using AI tools can help employees of all ages stay on top of cyber threats…?

1 个月I love it that five generations could be working together side by side. But I wonder why we don’t celebrate that occasion. I believe Trump’s presidency could possibly have a positive influence on bringing about a more organic acceptance of generations working together. The man is 78 years old but most don’t even notice, and he accepts to have 25 year olds as members of his cabinet. People around have said they run out of energy before he does. In my personal experience, working with multiple generations younger than myself have said that they had to take a break while I was still going. But what really gives? Is it that how we perceive ourselves that leads into how we look and behave that projects onto others perceiving us to be in or outside their tribes?
