State of the Workplace — The Gen Z Shift

How resilience sustains performance under pressure and change

By 2030, Generation Z will make up around 30% of the global workforce. As this shift accelerates, understanding what Gen Z values, needs, and expects from work is critical — not only for attracting and retaining talent, but for enabling a multi-generational workforce to perform effectively in a fast-changing environment.

This report examines the current state of the workplace and Gen Z’s attitudes to work, exploring both the scale of these challenges and the capabilities required to address them. It assesses key workforce trends, including stress, burnout, sickness absence, and attrition, alongside the effectiveness of organisational responses — particularly the role of resilience training and coaching.

Research from other organisations

Resilience at work sits inside a much wider evidence base on stress, wellbeing and sustained performance. These are the sources we return to most often, and the ones we would point a client to when they want independent numbers rather than ours.

For how the five facets translate into an assessment and a plan, see the ResilienceBuilder® Model and the Assessment and Report.
