As employers engage workers from four distinct generations, the group they have the least experience with is Generation Z - the youngest members of the workforce, born between 1997 and 2012. While ample research exists about how Gen Z views work-related topics like career goals; purpose and fulfillment; and work-life balance, fewer studies have focused on how employers can support this generation’s health and productivity. Through surveys, interviews, and focus groups, Fidelity Health® Thought Leadership research revealed one major reason employers should refashion their health benefits for the next generation: Many Gen Z workers don’t feel “well.” Across all key aspects of wellbeing, Gen Z employees appear to struggle more than employees of other generations, with the most significant gaps in mental health and work life.
