Leadership Development: Welcoming Gen Z into the Workplace Training For Managers 

A psychology-informed morning for HR professionals, managers, and leaders seeking to better understand and support Gen Z in the workplace.

Today’s early-career professionals are entering the workplace with different educational, social and life experiences from the generations who manage them. Many are high-achieving, values-driven and ambitious, yet they may also be navigating anxiety, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, adjustment difficulties, neurodiversity, changing expectations around work and the lasting impact of disruption during key educational and developmental years.

This business breakfast will explore how managers, HR professionals and leaders can better understand and support Gen Z and early-career employees in the workplace. The session will consider the strengths this generation brings, the challenges they may face in high-pressure environments, and practical strategies for giving feedback, building confidence, supporting wellbeing and helping emerging talent thrive.

The session will include psychological insight, case examples and practical management takeaways.

Attendees will explore

• The psychological and social factors shaping Gen Z’s approach to work and career development.

•⁠  ⁠What shapes the expectations and needs of Gen Z employees.
