Dear Marco,

In order to effectively work with new Gen Z employees, I have summarized key points of a useful article
touching on an overview, importance of individual contributions, and harnessing community and
connection.

An Overview of GenZ
The part of the population born from the years 1995 through 2010 are known as Gen Z. The generation
has been formed by political movements, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, and technology. This
article touches on how Gen Z contributes to a workplace through their value based priorities and desire
for impact. However, the generation has exhibited issues with engagement.

The Importance of Their Individual Contributions

Research has shown that members of Gen Z’s actions and decisions take into account how they will affect
the world around them. The article suggests that, to utilize this, emphasize how their individual roles will
impact the success of the organization. To further encourage them, an emphasis on how the organization
positively impacts the world should be made.

Harnessing Community and Connection

Gen Z has grown up fully immersed in technology as well as social media. As a result, studies have
shown that the generation has expressed a feeling of isolation due to their remote and hybrid way of life.
The article suggests that meeting with Gen Z employees to discuss their preferred method of
communication is important for engagement and productivity. However, in person activities are also
suggested in order to create opportunities to develop closer professional relationships.

In closing, the circumstances of Gen Z’s upbringing have impacted their individual work and desire for
connection. In order to work with these qualities, emphasizing their large, positive impact as well as
considering their remote or hybrid preferences while still requiring gatherings to harbor close professional
relationships is important. If you have any further questions or comments about the points summarized in
this article, send me an email BestEmployee@YLC.com within this upcoming week.

Sincerely,

BestEmployee
