Gen Z vs. Gen X: Who needs more from you as an employer?

HR leaders and Reward & Benefits specialists are well-versed in navigating the needs of a multigenerational workforce. However, it’s hard to ignore the voices of two specific generations, asking very different things from their employers: both have needs that are critical to their retention.

Join us as we explore the contrasting needs of Gen Z and Gen X. Our Gen Z colleagues, known for their future-focused mindset, clear demand for hyper-personalised support, and an eye on long-term career expectations. Gen X sitting squarely in the sandwich generation, balancing care for both young and old, their immediate requirements include reducing work/life stress through flexible working and flexible care solutions for both children and elderly parents. Cost of living pressures take their toll on both generations, while the budget pressures are real for employers.

This session will unpack what it really takes to engage, retain, and empower these two pivotal groups—and how smart investment in wellbeing, flexibility, and family support solutions across all life stages can drive ROI across your workforce.
