Diversity and Inclusion - Expected Norms in Today's world?

Thankfully we live in different times to when many of us were brought up and these terms are often thrown around without a real understanding.

One way to understand these terms is through a famous saying we feel best exemplifies these concepts: “Diversity is being invited to the party, and inclusion is being asked to dance.” We believe this saying perfectly encapsulates how Generation Z would describe these terms, too. To them, unlike previous generations, diversity and inclusion are not bonuses—they are expected.

Statistically, Generation Z is the most diverse group of people in history. Looking at many categories regarding diversity, Generation Z truly has more diversity than all the older generations, which is partly why they likely value diversity and inclusivity significantly compared to leaders like us. We value being included and diversity, but in today's world, Generation Z is an example of why we must include diversity

Motivation is crucial to any individual, but we have noticed some exciting findings regarding Generation Z versus older generations when discussing generational differences.

Everyone is motivated by something, but what do you think Generation Z is motivated by? Is it money or impact? These are crucial questions to ask because we understand one’s motivation, we can further encourage productivity and engagement at work. 

In this blog, we will talk about what we have noticed motivates Generation Z, looking specifically at how we can encourage tomorrow's leaders to continue reaching for more success in their careers and lives.  Yes it is going to be generic, we know that, but it has raised some interesting points. 

While you might think you have a clear idea of what Generation Z is motivated by, read on to find out more about what encourages this generation of upcoming leaders to continue their careers to have an expansive impact on today's world.

One of the common challenges we see in all our courses is workplace feedback. Navigating feedback could be one of the most critical challenges you may face as a manager, leader, or even an ordinary employee.

While feedback may seem inconsequential, managers and leaders should know how to give feedback.

Proper feedback is vitally important to the health of the organisation and the continuation of every employee’s engagement in the workplace.

Even more importantly, not every generation will respond the same to the feedback you provide. One of the common questions that we get asked is how Generation Z or other generations will react to feedback we deliver in the workplace.

Our answer: when delivered appropriately, everybody should receive feedback fairly. However, Generation Z has some unique preferences regarding feedback, which we will explore right after we touch upon the difference between proper feedback and incorrect feedback methods.

What Classifies as Good Feedback?

In today's rapidly evolving world, a common misconception among leaders and managers is that the way of specific industries and companies must continue without alteration.

While this desire may be out of good intentions, there are several reasons why we all need to wake up to the power of Generation Z, the new generation of leaders in many of our companies, industries, and societies.

Generation Z significantly differs from older generations and current organisational leaders and managers. As the future leaders of our world, Generation Z stands out because of their unique proficiency in social media and the Internet from a young age, which often can be a source of frustration for many of us older leaders who struggle with even something as simple as posting a photo on social media. 

Even despite these hurdles, there are several reasons why we need to wake up to Generation Z and see how powerful they truly are, including how much they can benefit our organisations.
