Millennials and Gen Z are shaping the workplaces of the future as digital natives entering the workforce en masse. The survey found that a majority of Millennial employees have direct reports, with 62% and nearly half of Gen Z employees also reporting this. However, male Gen Z employees are almost twice as likely as female Gen Z employees to say they have direct reports. Many Millennials see people management as the only way to advance their careers, citing higher pay or career advancement as the primary reasons. In contrast, Gen Z managers are more likely than Millennial managers to say they moved into a management role because someone else left and there was no one else to fill the role. Younger managers are burned out, with 73% of millennial managers and 66% of Gen Z managers experiencing periods of decreased productivity due to job burnout. They also struggle with delegating work and often expect their teammates to respond outside of work hours, which can contribute to burnout. Interestingly, younger employees value managers with soft skills, prioritizing communication, productivity, and motivation over business-focused skills like driving results or budget management.
