Dr. Daryl Green presents useful strategies to help people better connect with Generation Z.
With a greater understanding of this new generation, today’s business
and academic institutions can reach success in more effective ways.
Dr. Daryl Green
is an international researcher and author. In a recent seminar to
educator and administrators in Oklahoma, he outlines how individuals can
better connect with Generation Z, those who were born in 1995 and
after. This generation is considered to be the most differs, global,
entrepreneurial, and technological generation that ever exists in the
world. Now in the United States, this generation places 26% of the total
population. To know better about the Generation Z, the following
statistics might help:
• 30% of them think that do not get applicable business skills needed for real life when they were students in college.
• 66% have an opinion that the technology exists now makes it possible for them to do anything.
• 72% of of this generation have a dream to build their own business.
• 76% argue that reaching their goals is now possible due to their online experiences.
• 79% show emotional distress whenever they can’ access their personal electronic devices.
Dr. Green has identified 5 main characteristics of Generation Z,
they are technology dependent, culturally diverse and inclusive,
independent thinkers, entrepreneurs, and socially conscious. The secret
formula to dig out all of the potentials inside Z Generation consists of
some important keys, include:
• Communicate in ways to get frequent feedback.
• Connect to them digitally.
• Give them chances to make innovation at the working place.
• Give instructions in smaller segments only.
• Give them practical and relevant experiences in their learning in the classroom.
“Organizations
need to foster good human capital behaviors. Every generation is
different. We also bring our own generational biases into the workplace.
However, Generation Z employees are a great asset to organizations
with their fresh ideas and technology intuitiveness. We need to do a
better job of handling them in the workplace than we did for Generation
Y. If we are successful as leaders in doing this, there will be a huge
return on investments,” Dr. Green said.
