It is with great pleasure that Monarch announces that Dr. Karina Ochis, Professor of Management & Leadership at Monarch Business School Switzerland and Research Fellow at the Monarch Research Institute Switzerland, has published a new book on how to effectively manage Gen Z employees in the modern workforce. The book, published by Rutledge, is entitled, “Gen Z in Work: A Practical Guide to Engaging Employees Across the Generations.”
As Gen Z continues to make up a growing portion of the workforce, businesses face a crucial challenge: how to effectively engage and manage this tech-savvy, ambitious generation. In response to this growing concern, Gen Z in Work: A Practical Guide to Engaging Employees Across the Generations by Karina Ochis offers actionable solutions for senior executives, managers, and leaders to address this issue and improve employee engagement in the workplace.
With 85% of employees worldwide disengaged from their work, businesses are grappling with a serious problem that results in diminished productivity and high turnover costs. By 2025, Gen Z is expected to account for one-third of the workforce, and organizations must quickly adapt to effectively include this group. Gen Z in Work provides practical solutions for overcoming the disengagement crisis and highlights how companies can bridge the generational gap by capitalizing on the strengths of Gen Z employees. The book offers:
- Strategies to foster productive relationships between Gen Z employees and older, more experienced workers.
- Actionable solutions for senior executives and managers to better engage Gen Z and tackle the broader issue of employee disengagement.
- Practical advice for reshaping five key areas—onboarding, leadership, culture, motivation, and benefits—to enhance Gen Z productivity and alignment with company goals.
- Through these insights, Gen Z in Work empowers businesses to modernize long-established practices and effectively integrate Gen Z employees into the workforce. From gamified rewards and multigenerational training to mixed-generation teams, this book helps organizations redefine their strategies and create more engaging, dynamic workplaces.
In addition to providing solutions for Gen Z integration, Gen Z in Work concludes with an eight-step framework for multigenerational management—offering managers a clear, actionable strategy that can be implemented immediately. The book empowers companies to play to the unique skills of Gen Z, enhancing overall workplace performance. Ø Gen Z in Work is a must-read for organizations looking to improve engagement, reduce turnover, and maximize the potential of their diverse workforce.
