Gen Z largely entered the workforce as remote and hybridwork went mainstream.
Why it matters: Early career professionals are hungry for mentorship and real connections (even friends) on top of flexibility and work-life balance. With Gen Z expected to overtake Baby Boomers in the workplace this year, those preferences are reshaping the modern workplace.
Meeting friends for dinner at 6pm, throwing on some jazz to relax, and drifting off to sleep by 9pm may sound like perfect weekend plans for grandma. But many in Gen Z are also embracing the early bird lifestyle.
The big picture: Today's youth is surprisingly well-rested, as the big business of sleep and a culture that ditches late night drinks in favor of shut eye flourish.
