New Report States Gen-Z Prefers Hybrid Schedule Over Fully Remote Work, Craves In-Person Connection
Briefly

Gen-Z employees prefer hybrid work arrangements to fully remote setups due to concerns about professional development. A Gallup report highlights that only 25% of Gen-Z workers favor complete remote work, a stark contrast to other generations. This preference stems from the difficulty in forming essential workplace relationships online, which Gen-Z believes is more effective through in-person encounters. They feel that spontaneous discussions and quick advice from colleagues play a crucial role in their career progression, making hybrid setups more appealing for effective networking and advancement.
As Gen-Z enters the workforce, concerns about how remote work can hinder their career advancement have taken a toll. Establishing key relationships with higher-ranking professionals in the office can be harder online, and Gen-Z has already started to notice.
Gen-Z prefers not to have a fully remote setup more than other generations, such as millennials and baby boomers. Findings from Gallup's survey concluded that only 25% of Gen-Z workers liked an entirely remote schedule.
