Managing millennials (and Gen Z)

Published: June 22, 2023, 8 p.m.

Younger workers want unlimited holiday, refuse to give up remote working, and are constantly looking for their next job, or so the clich\xe9 goes. Millennials and those even younger (Generation Z) do typically have different attitudes to work than their older colleagues, but what are they really, and how are they changing workplaces?\n \nIs it all about finishing early on Fridays, finding a company with a strong ethical stance, or looking for the quickest possible route to success? And to what extent have the pandemic and remote working changed the relationship between employees and employers, especially for those new to the world of work?\n \nAs these younger workers make up an ever-growing proportion of staff at UK firms, Evan Davis and guests ask what\u2019s the best way to manage and get the best out of them.
