International architects firm HKS conducted a yearlong research study to find out the future of the workspace. They based their research on Generation Z.
We have all heard of Millennials, well for better or worse - their reign is coming to an end. So, let me introduce you to their replacements - Generation Z.
Gen Z are born between the years 1995 – 2010, so they are young. Very young. However, they are reaching the age that soon they will be joining an office near you!
Currently, only 6% of the overall working population is made up of Generation Z. But, in the next 10 years, this will grow to roughly 30%.
This study suggests that Gen Z-ers have very strong views on how their future workplace should operate.
The Gen Z participants studied, described themselves as Social and Tech-Savvy, so in order to play to strengths; a workplace environment should mirror this.
