In PCR, Whye writes about a U.K.-based study that Intel recently
launched assessing expectations of Generation Z (people born from
1996 to 2002) concerning diversity and personal experiences of bias
– and how these will contribute to shaping their future career
paths. The findings were clear: For Gen Z, D&I is a deciding
factor when considering future careers. Since the workforce now
consists of multiple generations, it’s important to understand
their viewpoints and experiences in order to be inclusive of all.
Gen Z in particular expects companies to understand and respect its
needs and will not conform to a culture that doesn’t align with its
values.
She writes: "From social equity to climate change, this is a
generation that is determined to make a difference. When it comes
to work, Intel’s research found that a majority of Gen Zs in the
U.K. would be hesitant to take a job from a company that does not
have diverse representation in senior leadership roles. Moreover,
in choosing between competing job offers, a company’s stance on
diversity and inclusivity is almost as important as the pay
offered.”

As part of its joint research with Lenovo, Intel examined Gen
Z’s global perspective on D&I with a focus on gender
differences and the importance of leadership diversity. It surveyed
over 5,000 people recruited by Lucid, a global survey platform,
between Dec. 19, 2019, and Jan. 7, 2020. Key findings include:
- Gen Z employees across markets consistently lead other
generations when it comes to finding importance in the diverse
composition of company leadership. For example, Gen Z, by a
22-point margin, want to see more LGBTQ representation when
compared with baby boomers born between 1947 and 1965 (66% vs.
44%).
- As it pertains to the importance for companies to provide
specific benefits for groups with different needs, 77% of global
Gen Z respondents ranked it extremely or very important compared
with 58% of baby boomers. Additionally, by a 10-point margin, Gen Z
believes implementing programs to ensure D&I at every level is
extremely or very important for ensuring equal treatment of
employees (83% of global Gen Z respondents vs. 73% of global baby
boomer respondents).
- Employees of both genders in Brazil and China place a higher
importance of ensuring team members’ voices are heard (Brazil: 98%
of women and 92% of men; China: 90% of women and 88% of men).
However, women across all markets consistently indexed higher than
their male counterparts on this issue.
- Employees across all markets indicate seeing female
representation in leadership positions as a top priority; however,
the U.S. is the only country to place ethnic minority leadership as
a top-two priority. In the U.K., Brazil and Germany, more weight is
given to supporting leadership representation to those living with
disabilities, while China wants more consideration and support for
parents in the workplace.
