Gen Z at Work: How Younger Talent Is Influencing Work Culture

This week, Carmen chats with Cloey Callahan, Assistant Director of Development and Alumni Communications at SUNY New Paltz and former Digiday Worklife writer, to discuss what makes Gen Z tick at work. As a Gen Z-er herself, Cloey shares why this generation’s approach to jobs, loyalty, hybrid work, and even mental health is shaking things up. This episode explores the importance of making space for meaningful conversations about Gen Z’s needs, going beyond surface-level assumptions, and embracing topics that might be considered “taboo” in the workplace. From side hustles to the impact of social issues, Cloey explains how leaders can skip the stereotypes and connect meaningfully with Gen Z talent.
