Members of Gen Z, which includes young adults in the workforce and teens who will enter it in the coming decade, report less stigma about discussing mental health than older adults, according to McKinsey partner Erica Coe.
The growing presence of Gen Z in the workforce will increase pressure on employers to offer robust mental health resources, Ms. Coe said.
Fewer younger workers said they were thriving in 2023 compared to 2022, according to a global survey by Gallup. The report also found that those younger than 35 reported thriving less often than workers 35 and older.
Healthcare leaders have also noted emerging priorities as more Gen Zers enter the workforce. It is important to consider how to accommodate work-life balance while maintaining values and service to patients, Sarasota (Fla.) Memorial Health Care System CEO David Verinder previously told Becker’s about the generation.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
