Culture Reflects Leadership and Shaping an Organisational Identity. How do We Support Gen Z to Thrive in an Empathetic Workplace?

29 Jul 2024
Track 2
Inspire, empower, nurture.  Culture reflects leadership and these two things are key in shaping organization’s identity, values, and supporting people’s performance and development.
The core values an organization has are the foundations on which we build common ground with our employees and teams.
Generation Z, born roughly between the mid-1990s and early 2010s, are known for their digital prowess, entrepreneurial spirit, social consciousness, and desire for inclusivity in interactions and experiences.
We have a new generation entering the workforce that require us to challenge our thinking at times but also need us to provide them with empathy and the basics to be able to empower and nurture them.
Supporting Gen Z to thrive in an empathetic workplace involves aligning leadership practices with common values and preferences as well as instilling in them the organizations vision and mission.
  • Introducing culture and leadership – why the two must work in partnership.
  • Why values of an organization set the foundational basis for employees and the accountability that comes with this.
  • The different generations of a workforce (boomers, millennials, Gen Z) and the different working ethos/practices for each.
  • How can we practically support Gen Z using our experiences and different world view through empathy whilst helping them build resilience?
  • We don’t have to reinvent the wheel but there may be a need to go back to basics!
