According to data collected through an annual survey by insurance giant Cigna, Gen Z has higher stress levels than any other generation. About 91% of Gen Z people experienced stress, which is nearly 10% higher than the average for other generations.
The worrying fact is that 23% of these people say they have unmanageable stress and 98% say they feel extremely drained from their jobs.
In addition, a Gallup survey also brings worrying data about Generation Z which, in this case, has 54% of people not engaged in their work, a number greater than generations superiors.
According to the BBC, the leadership specialist organization Santor Nishizaki has written a book specializing in working with Generation Z, which reads as follows: “We found that during the pandemic, a good portion of Gen Z admitted to not giving their best effort at work, which is a symptom in
exhaustion and other workplace behaviors such as disengagement, unclear communication, lack of manager support, and loneliness.”Young people are facing a lot of instability in their professional careers
Although young people are constantly on screens, this should not be the reason that has caused these problems with work in young people, but the uncertain moment they are facing in the professional environment. Consequently, this leads to high stress levels, after all, large companies are constantly laying off workers in droves.
Data collected at the end of last year by McKinsey support this fact by contesting that almost 50% of young people live worried about losing their jobs.
Salary is another point that affects
In addition to insecurity, according to McKinsey, Generation Z are also those who present more dissatisfaction with the salary received, since, according to them, the money is not enough to allow them to have quality of life. Also for this reason, 77% of young people are looking for new careers to follow.
