When you think about diversity in the workplace, you think about measures like race, gender, and ethnicity…but what about age? Generation Z, born between 1997-2012, is the first generation of digital natives. Every generation has its own values as consumers and creators, and the globalization of Gen Z culture is one that has never been seen before.

Right now, leaders are struggling to adapt to Gen Z’s approach to the workplace and retain them as top talent. On the flip side, Gen Z is currently the least happy generation at work, and their happiness at work is tied to how passionate they are about the work they do. To bridge this workplace mismatch, Apoorva answers the question: how can companies and leaders keep up with emerging generations and reimagine a workplace that appeals to Gen Z’s values in the digital age?

In this highly-requested talk, Apoorva advises leaders and corporations on how to adapt quickly to be at the forefront of the future of work, innovation, and creation for Gen Z and effectively engage this generation of thinkers.

To promote diversity in tech, it’s time to demystify it–starting with younger generations. How can we create an exposure mechanism for all students to engage them in as many areas as possible and to give them a playground to problem-solve in? A focus on transferable real-world skills at an early age gives meaning to learning, and in turn creates motivation. Start allowing students to be actively learning and working on the problems of today, instead of waiting for the problems of tomorrow.
