In case you have not heard the news, the workforce is changing.
Generation Z workers are just graduating from college. The age range is typically
described as 3 to about 23, and there are 73 million people in this generation. I've touched on it before, but the most important thing to know about Gen-Z versus Millennials is that the younger generation grew up with easy access to the internet, apps, and smartphones. They are digital natives, whereas Millennials probably all remember a time before the internet and particularly before Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Beyond
their tech-savvy ways, Gen-Z is also quite different in terms of its
outlook on life. I work with some of them and two of my kids are Gen-Z,
but more important, I've been mentoring some Gen-Z(ers) for the past few
years.
