There’s a new generation of people transforming the way we work. Who are they? They’re Generation Z, or Gen Z for short! These zoomers are the largest generation ever. They comprise around 20% of Australia's population and almost 30% of the world's population. The older generations are united in struggling to understand Gen Z in the workplace. 

The purpose of today’s episode of The Tradie Show is to PREPARE you to lead this curious demographic cohort, who are born between 1997 and 2012. In this conversation, Andy and Angela talk about what leaders need to know about the Gen Z mindset, along with practical ways you can connect with your Gen Z team members.

If you start any sentence with, “Back in my day...,” this conversation is for you.
