World of Work for Generation Z in 2025
ManpowerGroup's "World of Work: Generation Z" white paper explores the impact of Gen Z on the global workforce. It highlights the expectations, values, and behaviors of this generation, including their emphasis on flexibility, technology, work-life balance, and job security.


Generation Z will make up a third of the global workforce by 2030. The current report, which is based on ManpowerGroup's Global Talent Barometer and other internation studies on Generation Z in the labor market, shows how companies can attract this generation and help them reach their potential.
Some key findings from the study:
- 47% of Gen Z employees in Switzerland are considering leaving their current position within the next six months.
- Gen Z (57%) and Millennials (53%) report workplace stress more frequently than other generations.
- To attract and retain employees from Generation Z, Swiss employers focus on improving the work-life balance, optimizing technological tools, and providing targeted training for their leaders.
Generation Z is entering the labor market during a time of massive upheaval – shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical unrest, and widespread digital transformation. Our study shows how employers are responding: with personalized recruitment strategies, diverse training opportunities, and clear career paths.
