According to Unstop’s recently launched Gen Z at Workplace Report 2024, there is a growing disconnect between what Gen Z employees expect and what companies offer. A striking 86% of Gen Z employees consider mental health care plans non-negotiable, while 44% seek wellness initiatives like subsidized counseling. Yet, only a small fraction of companies meet these demands, highlighting a critical oversight.
Work-life balance is equally crucial, with 47% of Gen Z employees ranking it as a key factor in long-term career satisfaction. Many organizations, however, remain slow to adapt, leading to dissatisfaction and increased turnover among this generation.
The report emphasizes that workplace stress is a severe issue for Gen Z, and companies must act swiftly to provide adequate mental health support and respect personal time. Failing to do so risks losing top talent and missing out on the opportunity to empower the workforce of the future.
