00:00
Compared to the Millennials and other generations,
00:03
the perspective of these Generation Z or Gen Z
00:10
when it comes to their careers is different.
00:12
To give us an answer to that, we have Dr. Joan May Perez-Refarial,
00:17
a psychiatrist.
00:18
Dr. Joan, welcome back to Rise and Shine Filipina.
00:21
Good morning!
00:22
Good morning, Mondian.
00:23
Good morning, Sir Audrey.
00:24
And good morning to all the RSE.
00:26
I'm sure all of us are noticing this, especially the elderly.
00:31
Based on your studies,
00:33
what are the attitudes of Generation Z
00:38
when it comes to work, careers, and workplaces?
00:42
A brief background, Sir Audrey, so we can better understand Generation Z.
00:45
Who are Generation Z?
00:47
They are the so-called digital natives.
00:50
They are very tech-savvy.
00:54
They were born with gadgets.
00:59
Technology is there.
01:00
The world is very digital.
01:01
They started in the workforce during the time of COVID-19.
01:07
They were affected by COVID-19.
01:09
So when it comes to the workplace,
01:12
they value finding purpose, meaning in what they do.
01:18
For example, they look for work that is attuned to their value system.
01:25
They feel that it's better to be flexible.
01:31
Because during COVID-19, we saw that it's possible to be flexible in the workplace.
01:36
We have work from home.
01:37
So they are like that.
01:39
Of course, they prefer digital integration in their work.
01:44
That's why they are advocates.
01:48
They advocate for change.
01:51
For example, for climate change.
01:53
For work-life balance.
01:55
That's why they push for this.
01:58
Yes, in work, not everyone needs to work, work, work, and above paycheck.
02:03
That's not their goal.
02:07
When they enter the workplace,
02:09
they look for meaning and purpose in what they do.
02:13
Because the other priority is to help them.
02:17
Yes, that's correct.
02:18
My parents are from the same generation.
02:20
They work, work, and work.
02:23
They don't have a feeling.
02:24
Correct.
02:25
They don't have a feeling at that time.
02:27
They have this agency.
02:28
They have given their characteristics.
02:30
They want flexibility, purpose, meaning, and impact to the community.
02:33
Correct.
02:34
Digital integration.
02:38
Yes.
02:39
But I heard that they like to switch jobs.
02:43
According to studies, they are not too engaged in their work.
02:51
Because if they don't look for the training that they want,
02:56
the purpose, mentoring, values,
02:59
if they look at the way they walk, for example,
03:03
the culture of the workplace,
03:05
they don't think that there is a need for improvement,
03:09
for example, in the workplace.
03:11
Then they look for another job.
03:13
They think that it is more in line with their beliefs and values.
03:19
I also interviewed someone from the Department of Labor and Employment.
03:22
Yes.
03:23
He said that this is a problem.
03:25
It is changing because of such reasons.
03:27
Yes.
03:28
Psychologically, is there a problem?
03:30
Because it is like being entitled.
03:32
Because you know that you can resign anytime.
03:35
Your parents will take care of you.
03:37
You will have a job.
03:38
You will be able to live.
03:39
Unlike 20, 10 years ago, 15 years ago, 30 years ago,
03:43
when you were given a job,
03:45
you will take care of it because no one will take care of you.
03:47
That's it.
03:48
So, what is the...
03:50
Yes.
03:51
And that's why the concept of generational gap is coming in here.
03:55
Because what Ma'am Deanne said earlier is correct.
03:58
Even for me, Gen X, our values are different when it comes to work.
04:04
Because we were born during a time when our parents survived World War II.
04:10
That's why we are used to saving and working because of the war.
04:14
So, that's what was imbibed to us back then, to me personally, to Gen X.
04:19
This generation is different.
04:21
Their background and circumstances are different during the time when they entered the job market.
04:28
And their parents are a different generation.
04:31
Usually, their parents are millennials.
04:33
They are being given more.
04:35
Because they don't want to experience,
04:37
their parents don't want to experience the hardships they went through.
04:41
They tend to give, give, give.
04:43
That's why in Generation X, there are parental differences.
04:48
The parenting styles also.
04:50
Like being helicopter parents, lawnmower parents.
04:54
They are the ones who have this Gen Z that is being paved.
04:57
Lawnmower parenting.
04:58
The parents are paving the way without hardships for them.
05:02
Or always taking care of them, taking care of them.
05:05
Overprotectiveness.
05:07
This is them now.
05:08
These are the Gen Zs.
05:09
It's like a participation trophy.
05:11
But we shouldn't generalize.
05:14
No.
05:16
There are a lot of cases.
05:18
There are a lot of cases.
05:19
No, no.
05:20
Because our generation is different.
05:22
Let's not be like that.
05:23
Yes.
05:24
Let's not be like the Gen Z.
05:25
Why?
05:26
Because I think we can also learn from the Gen Z about work-life balance.
05:29
Yes.
05:30
Because the problem.
05:31
Flexibility, right?
05:32
The dollar is already a problem.
05:33
Some employers or company owners are already worried about how to handle the attitude of the Gen Z.
05:39
You can train them and then move on.
05:41
Yes.
05:42
This is also where we need to open lines of communication.
05:46
So that both parties, employees and employers, can really adapt.
05:51
We will get what can stay on for them.
05:56
For example, is this flexibility?
05:58
Because again, they are not the generation of work, work, work, hustle.
06:02
No.
06:03
They are not this.
06:04
No.
06:05
They are different from the previous generation.
06:07
So, again, the challenge for employers is to find what can make them stay.
06:13
For example, is this flexibility?
06:15
Integrate more.
06:16
Mentoring.
06:17
Because what they want is more training and mentoring.
06:20
This is it.
06:21
This is the group.
06:22
Okay.
06:23
They want continuous learning.
06:25
That they are still very aware of the events in the world.
06:32
Like what I mentioned earlier, work-life balance, climate change, what's happening.
06:39
They want to have an impact on the community, which is a good thing.
06:42
Correct.
06:43
What are the advantages of hiring Gen Z?
06:46
I want to know.
06:47
There are.
06:48
What?
06:49
Being digital.
06:50
That's it.
06:51
Being digital.
06:52
That's right.
06:53
They are very quick.
06:56
They are good with the digital.
06:58
Anything related to technology.
07:00
They are very creative.
07:01
They are creative.
07:02
They like collaboration.
07:05
They are very quick.
07:07
They want to work in teams.
07:09
That's good.
07:10
They want that.
07:11
To collaborate, learn from each other.
07:13
Things like that.
07:14
Team building activities.
07:17
And, of course, anything digital.
07:20
They are smart.
07:21
So, my advice is, for example, we can impart our experiences.
07:28
Growing up like this, the hardships.
07:31
And they can also teach us about technology.
07:35
Which is something that we will look for a balance.
07:39
Maybe you can give a lot of leaves.
07:45
Flexible.
07:46
Flexibility.
07:47
They want that.
07:48
Or you can work from home.
07:50
Once in a while for Gen Z.
07:52
Baby, baby.
07:53
For Gen Z.
07:55
We have a boss for Gen Z.
08:00
I'm not angry.
08:01
What I really feel is, I'm worried.
08:06
Because my generation is old.
08:09
And our future is Gen Z.
08:11
They are our future leaders.
08:13
Do they still have the hope to have a sense of professionalism?
08:17
And to love their job.
08:19
Yes, of course.
08:21
Because our work is always evolving.
08:25
Our styles in work, in learning.
08:28
In fact, learning is not purely classroom-based.
08:32
It can be learning remotely.
08:34
Or there are open types of universities.
08:37
So, we are always evolving.
08:39
And we always welcome change also.
08:41
So, with these changes, we also grow as individuals.
08:45
So, there is always a possibility for them to develop again.
08:50
Their love for the profession.
08:52
Especially, if it is aligned with their values.
08:55
With their belief systems.
08:57
And with what they think are very important matters in the world.
09:02
I'm broken-hearted.
09:03
I will leave.
09:05
Right?
09:06
There are unhappy leaves.
09:07
That's what I see.
09:09
But we really have to understand about generational gap.
09:12
Because the circumstances are different when we started working.
09:16
So, there will be different values.
09:19
But I hope we have standard values.
09:22
That matter to us.
09:24
No matter what generation.
09:26
Discipline, professionalism, integrity, honesty, and all that.
09:29
Yes.
09:30
We maintain that and find the balance always.
09:32
They will not always follow.
09:34
The employer will not always follow.
09:36
But we always look for that middle ground.
09:39
And as Dr. John said, communication.
09:42
Communication is very important.
09:44
Yes.
09:45
Are you going to hire a Gen Z?
09:47
You look like a Gen Z.
09:48
No, it depends.
09:49
It depends on the Gen Z.
09:50
Because there are Gen Z who are very professional.
09:52
Disciplined.
09:53
And they will not follow.
09:55
Correct.
09:56
They will not follow.
09:57
They will give their 100% dedication to their job.
10:01
Yes.
10:02
Of course.
10:03
Thank you, Dr. John.
10:05
Thank you very much.
10:07
Thank you for sharing with us about the Gen Z attitude in the workplace.
