Encuesta Millennial GenZ 2023-16-20
The top preference among Gen Zs and millennials is to have full choice in where they work. This might mean working remotely
all or most of the time and going to a common workplace or meeting with colleagues once a week, once a month, or even
once a year. Or it could mean working on-site more regularly while occasionally working from home.
A slightly smaller percentage of Gen Zs and millennials would prefer hybrid work models in which their employer has set
requirements for how often they need to be on-site. This could be because set requirements would provide structure and
ensure that in-person time is coordinated so that employees are not going into an empty office.
Less than two in 10 Gen Zs and millennials want a fully remote work pattern, in which they don’t go to a physical workplace at
all, signaling that some in-person collaboration with colleagues is important to these generations—but they want it to be on
their terms.

• It enables better work/life balance by freeing up time to spend with family and friends (20% of Gen Zs and 28%
of millennials), to pursue hobbies (20% of Gen Zs and 25% of millennials), and take care of responsibilities outside
of work (20% of Gen Zs and 25% of millennials).
• It helps save money by reducing expenses related to commuting, buying work clothes, and dry cleaning (22% of
Gen Zs and 27% of millennials).
• For many, it drives greater productivity allowing them to stay focused without the typical distractions of an
office environment (18% of Gen Zs and 23% of millennials).
• Over half of Gen Zs (54%) and millennials (59%) think hybrid work is positive for their mental health. This is
especially true for parents (59% of Gen Zs/63% of millennials), ethnic minority groups (58% of Gen Zs/67% of
millennials), and Gen Zs with visible disabilities (60%).
While the majority say hybrid or remote work is beneficial for their mental health, nearly a quarter of
Gen Zs (22%) and 15% of millennials believe the opposite is true: they worry hybrid or remote work may
have a negative impact on their mental health. And, similar to last year, they have concerns about its
impact on their ability to make connections, find mentors and sponsorship opportunities with leaders,
and progress in their careers.
• Some have experienced proximity bias, where people in positions of power tend to treat workers
who are physically closer to them more favorably, and they worry this may limit their career
progression (18% of Gen Zs/15% of millennials).
• It can make connecting with colleagues more difficult (14% of Gen Zs and millennials).

Work/life balance
More than three-quarters of Gen Zs (81%) and millennials (76%) are interested in more flexible working or in reducing their
working hours. Only one in 10 have no concerns about making the shift, while others don’t believe it’s a feasible option as they worry
their workload wouldn’t be reduced accordingly, that they’d be passed over for promotion opportunities, or given less interesting work.
