Gen Z may be known for their technological prowess, but when it comes to the workplace, they would rather chat face-to-face than over Zoom, according to a new report from Gallup.
Gallup found that among baby boomers, Gen X, millennials and Gen Z, the youngest generation is actually the least likely to favor exclusively remote work.
Only 23% of Gen Z employees say that they prefer fully remote work, compared to 35% of employees from each other generation.
Jim Harter, chief scientist of workplace management and wellbeing at Gallup, says he was surprised by the study’s findings.
“You might think that [Gen Z] just would have an automatic preference for remote work, because they can do a lot of things digitally,” he says.
