“Generation Z” is gradually entering the job market. However, if professional anxiety affects workers of all generations, the youngest seem particularly affected. This is the subject of Talk franceinfo. Every evening from 6 p.m., Manon Mella and her guests debate with Internet users on the franceinfo Twitch channel.
The analysis of generations and their relationship to work is an older theory than it seems. Originally, it was Douglas McGregor who developed, in the 1960s, a concept from which it would be possible to classify individuals by generation to better understand their expectations at work. Today, people born after 1995, Generation Z, are gradually entering the workforce and according to a recent survey by Cigna International Health, 18-24 year olds are most at risk of burnout symptoms.
Elisabeth Soulieanthropologist and essayist, author of Generation Z in X-rays, published by Cerf, and Daphne Breton, occupational psychologist are in the Talk to discuss it. Ludovic Pauchant receives Gabrielle Predkojournalist for Welcome to the Jungle, head of the “employees, candidates, students” section.
More stressed employees?
Anxiety at work is not the prerogative of the youngest employees, however the uncertainty linked to the period of the pandemic seems to have left, for these new arrivals on the labor market, a fear of economic, political and environmental.
In addition, the world of work has also experienced upheavals. The generalization of teleworking in certain sectors, after a long period of social isolation, during confinement may have slowed down the professional development of a whole new generation of workers.
Join us from 6 p.m. Monday to Friday on the franceinfo Twitch channel to participate in Ludovic Pauchant’s Talk. An hour of exchange, clarification, debate around topical and social issues.
