“By listening carefully to what they are saying, we can appreciate the lessons they have to teach us: be real, know who you are, be responsible for your own well-being, support your friends, open up institutions to the talents of the many not the few, embrace diversity, make the world kinder, live by your values.” That’s an excerpt from Gen Z, Explained: The Art of Living in a Digital Age, co-authored by today’s guest of the Business Group on Health Podcast, Dr. Roberta Katz. On this episode, Dr. Katz upends misconceptions about Generation Z and tells us who these young people are and why. We discuss defining attributes of Gen Zers, examining what shaped them, how these attributes show up in the workplace, and ways older and younger employees can bridge their divide through better understanding.
