đź’ˇ Gen Z workers – people born between 1997 and 2012 – have more than tripled their managerial footprint in recent years, a demographic shift that’s reshaping the workplace.
🏆 For the first time, employers are promoting Gen Z into management as often as they do Baby Boomers.
đź’Ş Millennials, Gen X, and Baby Boomer managers get promoted far more often than their Gen Z counterparts.
Gen Z managers with direct reports get promoted less often than Baby Boomers is that nearly half of them work in industries with comparatively low career development opportunity, according to a new interesting research published by ADP Research Institute® using data 📊 from ADP Payroll and HR data analyzed.
âś…Number of Gen Z managers is rising very fast
Researchers found that Gen Z managers are rising fast as these workers age into the management ranks.
📉 Despite the rapid growth of Gen Z managerial promotions and hiring, Gen Z workers accounted for only 13.9 percentof managerial hires in 2023 and made up only 3 percent of the managerial workforce.
⚠️ The vast majority of Gen Z hires in 2023, nearly 98%, were not managers.
