Meetings, memes, and Gen Z: How to keep the digital generation engaged
- Meetings with Generation Z in the workplace present challenges due to their preference for engagement, purpose, and efficiency over traditional meeting formats.
- To capture Gen Z's attention, meetings should be shorter (30-45 minutes) with clear objectives and interactive elements like digital collaboration tools, quick polls, and breakout sessions.
- Focus on outcomes, make meetings enjoyable, and encourage participation and ownership to engage Generation Z effectively.
- Utilizing technology tools such as Slido, Miro, and Microsoft Teams can enhance real-time participation and engagement in meetings.
- Assigning specific responsibilities, summarizing key points, and utilizing action-tracker software help retain information and ensure follow-through during meetings with Gen Z.
- Flexibility is key, with Generation Z preferring asynchronous updates, video calls, and hybrid participation options over rigid in-person gatherings.
- Establish clear expectations and discipline early on, utilizing peer influence and mentorship to maintain professionalism and accountability within the organization.
- Meetings with Generation Z should be structured, purpose-driven, and interactive to maintain discipline without stifling creativity.
- Involving Gen Z in the meeting process, seeking feedback, and focusing on outcomes can lead to engagement and innovation in the workplace.
- The challenge lies in making meetings meaningful for all participants, especially in a rapidly evolving workplace where traditional hierarchies hold decreasing relevance.
