Date
Z may be the last letter of the alphabet but the generation that letter represents is starting to come in strong in the workplace. In just a few years, Generation Z (born 1994–2010) will make up 20 percent of the global workforce. What are they like, what are their preferences, what are their concerns? The May edition of PM Network interviews two from Z who are new to the workplace and presents an infographic on what motivates Generation Z. It’s more than the fact that this group is digital-native—Z workers are entrepreneurial, have hefty salary expectations and fear lack of development opportunities and not finding a job that matches their personality.
Have you had an experience with Generation Z? What has your experience been? If you are reading this and are a member of Generation Z, what is on your mind as you start your workplace journey? Please use the comments below this post to discuss.

I've had some excellent encounters with Gen Z people. Some have very bright futures ahead of them, however they seem to lack patience at times.
What comes after generation Z? The word is "Alpha".
