SUMMARY:Gen Z and Gen Alpha: Their Values & The Future of Work and Play
DESCRIPTION:This Knowledge Share has been generously sponsored by The Lens\, a high-specification viewing facility in the heart of Farringdon.\n \n  \n  \n  \nWe welcome ICG member Pam Goldfarb-Liss to run this Knowledge Share.  \nKnowledge Shares are run by ICG members for ICG members (only). \n  \nThink about this: by the year 2030 — more than 60% of the work force will be Gen Z and Millennials and by the year 2040 — as Millennials age and Gen Xers retire — more than 70% of that same work force will be Gen Z and Alpha. We already see the impact of Gen Z on the workforce as the values of work life balance build even stronger connections to support and greater overall balance. Gen Alpha promises to expand this focus into jobs that don’t even exist yet in workplaces that might connect even more to a new emphasis on work connections and support. \nThis Knowledge Share is part of an ongoing exploration that ICG member Pam Goldfarb Liss is seeing in her conversations with so many of her Gen Z and Gen Alpha respondents around what they want for their futures and in their future workplaces. Insight she hopes will get you thinking about your own workplace and views on these two younger generations. \nPresented in a fun analogy to one of this generation’s favourite nostalgic TV show from the 1990’s “Friends”; Pam will share her findings from several young respondents and present them within the context of existing third party research. This will to show these future generations’ evolution towards work and play that hopes to illuminate and encourage dialogue with your personal ‘Friends’ who are Gen Z and Alphas. Pam is hoping she’ll spark some great dialogue with ICG members attending as well. \nAbout Pam Goldfarb Liss: \nWith more than 30 years of experience\, Pam loves the never-know-what’s-coming-next fun of learning from listening to consumers especially younger consumers.
