Gen Z is choosing to “work to live” rather than “live to work,” like previous generations, because they’re reaping fewer rewards for their hard work, an expert on the future of work told Business Insider.
Ravin Jesuthasan, the global leader for transformation services at the consulting giant Mercer and a future-of-work expert, spoke with BI at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, this week and touched on the topic of Gen Z in the workplace.
Gen Z “has some very different attitudes to work” from older generations, Jesuthasan said, because it’s one of the first generations whose members won’t have wealth greater than that of their parents or grandparents. Additionally, they have already experienced huge disruptions, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
Girl bye.
