Research is showing some GenZ employees don't check their work emails even once a month. The takeaway is that companies need to connect differently with a younger workforce. Fine, but it would be arrogant to ignore your emails, especially if WFH - some are crucial to your work and career. Nobody is that 'busy'. Let's find a compromise.

Mark Cuban, billionaire entrepreneur, explains why he thinks GenZ is changing the very definition of capitalism. Feel good about this, you're making 'conscious capitalism' a thing, unlike previous generations. 

In Iran it is GenZ, and particularly the brave young women, who are at the front of this revolution. This is what courage looks like, and it's young people leading the charge. 

GenZers, you have had one of the hardest starts in life since the Silent Generation. Not everyone gets that. We do. 

Here are some positive thoughts on how GenZ can not just tear down but then build up. How you can improve soft skills, leadership and teamwork to secure the goals you believe in. 

With a recession looming, companies are already laying staff off. But GenZers are finding positive ways to deal with the apparent bad news. Plus you can now become entrepreneurs!

A report on GenZ trends show that you really do put your money into a brand that has values and concerns that you share rather than one that has fake celebrity endoresements.
