Actively listening to colleagues can help you break down generational biases and work attitudes. This, in turn, builds trust, strengthens relationships, and creates opportunities for mutual learning.

The question is whether artificial intelligence (AI) will become a new threat to jobs for Gen Z?

As the first generation born in the digital age, Gen Z is tech-savvy and highly adaptable, but is often perceived as lacking perseverance, less receptive to constructive feedback, and unprofessional.

A survey by ResumeBuilder found that 74% of managers believe Gen Z is difficult to work with other generations due to feelings of being over-demanded and lacking independence. Other figures show that 54% of Gen Z employees are fired within their first 90 days of employment.

AI is not yet perfected, but it is considered cost-effective and avoids the challenges of human-to-human communication, even though it is not yet capable of taking on complex human roles.

According to a survey by Hult International, leaders appear frustrated by Gen Z's lack of practical experience, global mindset, and teamwork skills. There are even concerns about high training costs and Gen Z's inability to communicate effectively in a business environment.

Kevin Thompson, a financial expert and founder and CEO of 9i Capital Group, told Newsweek: "Training an AI to perform tasks easily, with precise programming, is far more cost-effective than training and paying humans." Not to mention, AI doesn't take vacations, doesn't go to the doctor, and never sleeps!

However, the fact that 37% of managers prefer AI also raises ethical questions about the workplace. Online learning and remote work tools give Gen Z an advantage in flexible work environments. Gen Z also values ​​social justice, sustainability, and diversity.

One frequently mentioned aspect is the communication style of Gen Z. They develop strong communication skills on social media, readily sharing aspects of their personal lives on these platforms, but struggle with face-to-face communication.

Statistics show that in the past year, one Gen Z worker will have not had a direct conversation with anyone over 50 at their company. Charlotte Davies, a career expert from LinkedIn, says that about 40% of people over 55 haven't spoken to a Gen Z colleague in the past year.

What Gen Z needs isn't the latest tools like AI automation, but conversations. Whether you're a recent graduate or an experienced professional, connection is the game-changer.
