#9 - Challenging Workplace Norms: The Gen Z Effect

About This Episode

Is success still about climbing the ladder—or is Gen Z building an entirely new one? As the youngest generation in the workforce challenges long-held ideas about ambition, identity, and fulfillment, a seismic shift is underway in how we define a meaningful career. This episode explores how Gen Z is blending personal values with professional goals, demanding more inclusive, flexible, and purpose-driven workplaces—and rejecting the notion that success must come at the expense of self. From rethinking career paths to reshaping company culture, this conversation reveals the transformative impact Gen Z is having across teams, industries, and generations. With fresh insights and bold questions, the episode unpacks what it truly means to thrive in a world of work that’s being reimagined from the ground up. Learn more about your ad choices.
