๐Ÿ“Œ Context is King

Deloitte Globalโ€™s 2025 Gen Z & Millennial Surveyโ€”based on 23,482 responses from 44 countriesโ€”reveals a seismic shift: young workers now prioritize a blend of financial security, personal meaning, and mental wellโ€‘being over traditional career advancement. Only 6% say climbing the corporate ladder is their primary goal.

Managers are falling short: roughly half of respondents expect mentorship and growth support but say they're rarely getting it. Meanwhile, nearly three-quarters believe generative AI will reshape their workโ€”and a similar proportion are actively training or planning to upskill.

Gen Z and millennials are reshaping career norms โ€” rejecting endless climbing in favor of structured growth, mental wellness, and purposeful impact. Traditional KPIs no longer suffice; companies must pivot to offer holistic support, not perks.
