Next-Gen workers will want more from the workplace

The next generation of employees will expect a different workplace landscape to what has gone before. A British study found that the expectations of today’s 13-17 year olds is set to cause some issues for employers in the coming years. Top of the list is technology with 90 per cent wanting to choose the technology they use in the workplace. However that’s assuming they are even in the workplace with 86 per cent expecting remote and flexible working and 60 per cent wanting to work for themselves. While these expectations may create risk of conflict between the needs of the business and the talent pool there is also good news from the report. The next-gen workforce will have the knowledge and technical ability to drive innovation in businesses and will embrace new ways of working quickly.
