Anupam Mittal Lists Three Demands That The GenZ Workforce Generally Expects

He said, ¡°I've heard many people say it and tbh, at times, I have felt it too. Here's my take.

When people imagine GenZ workforce, they think

> Remote work preferences

> An unreasonable emphasis on work-life balance

> A desire for numerous, often elaborate, workplace perks¡±

He then wrote about how Indian companies are bending over backwards to accommodate the needs of GenZ but at the end of the day, the key principles will always trump over new fads.

The key principles being - Commitment, Discipline And Hard work

¡°And what happens? Companies bend over backwards rewriting policies to appease them. Alternatively, they take a hard stance against any special treatment ? Either way, it can cost them dearly.

In my view, entitlement might work at times, especially when cos are desperate to hire, but let me tell you the harsh truth - As GenZ become a bigger & more imp. part of the workforce, the pendulum will swing back hard. The age-old principles will apply again!

Because at the core, ONLY 1 thing has ever really mattered -> Are you delivering the results you were hired for?

Go back to any generation and the vital elements remain unchanged:

> Commitment - To your job & the outcomes you signed up for
> Discipline - Showing up and putting in the hours needed
> Hard work ¨C Doing whatever it takes to get shit done

This may feel like old-fashioned advice, but these values have stood the test of time for good reason¡ªthey work ?,¡± he further wrote.

Anupam Mittal insisted that he does support change and believed that every generation brings its own flavor, the goals cannot be compromised over anything. He also gave a sound advice for them,

¡°Sure, I¡¯m all for flexi-work, innovation and shaking things up. Every generation arrives with a fervour to rewrite the playbook, and my own career was built on challenging the status quo. But companies doing so without attention to their context, industry, & ambition could seriously harm their culture.

And GenZ, if you want to be a leader & desire the perks that come with it, you will have to come around to the above values. There¡¯s no sidestepping the grind if you want to reap the rewards ?

Whatcha think? ?

PS - I work with some Super GenZ professionals, who I find amazingly inspiring. At their age, I didn¡¯t know my ass from my face ?¡±.

The start up culture in our country is to be thanked for. Work life balance may not be needed at that age grind is important to learn some important professional and life skills that will make them a better individual eventually.¡±
