Overview

  • The Gallup report reveals that 71% of Gen Z workers prefer hybrid roles, while only 23% favor fully remote positions and 6% want full in-office schedules.
  • High levels of loneliness among Gen Z drive a craving for face-to-face collaboration and workplace relationships.
  • Fully remote work is viewed as career-compromising by Gen Z due to challenges in securing mentorship and understanding organizational context.
  • Fixed in-office requirements for hybrid employees often misalign team schedules, reducing opportunities for meaningful in-person interaction.
  • In response, companies are overhauling policies and launching structured development programs to deliver targeted mentorship and boost team cohesion.
