Millennials’ unconventional approaches to the business world have revolutionized the workplace. As Generation Z is beginning to enter the workforce with new ideas and expectations, the workplace dynamic heavily influenced by Millennials is beginning to shift. The values first emphasized by Millennials are being redefined by Gen Zs. Many of the events and trends that made Millennials unique have also strongly impacted Gen Zs, and in some cases, even more heavily. This lends common ground to these two generations, but also holds the potential for friction in the workplace. This oral presentation supported by PowerPoint explores the dynamic between Millennials and Gen Z. The future of the business world will be driven by interactions between these two generations. Considering their motivations and expectations provides insight for better understanding and development of best practices for collaboration and reducing generational conflict in the workplace.
