What Is Gen Z Workplace Experience Tech? Why Is It So Important?

Gen Z Tech is actually the technical tools, software platforms and other things that young people who have just left school and are in their early 20s use in their workplaces. This thing has become popular recently. Many people on the Internet are searching for how to use and which one is better.

What exactly is it? Why is it so important?

Simply put, Gen Z Tech is not a single thing, but a collection of toolkits, including communication and chat, project management, and learning new things... all kinds of things that make Gen Z young employees feel that their work is not so boring, can play more freely, and can grow and improve quickly! Why is this important? Because young people nowadays have grown up with their mobile phones and computers since childhood, they can't stand those old and difficult-to-use broken systems. Without these useful technology products, they may leave in a few days. This is a big trouble for the company!

What hard-core and easy-to-use sectors are there? Disassemble one by one for you to talk about?

1. Super flexible communication and collaboration module - information is transmitted quickly and conveniently! This is so critical! What Gen Z fears most is that he is slow in meetings and sending an email without replying for a long time. Therefore, tools like Slack (although it is not available in China, it means almost the same), some new features of DingTalk, and so-called "multi-dimensional tables" in Feishu can allow them to communicate with their colleagues anytime and anywhere, and they don't have to sit in the grid and wait. How cool is this?

2. Tailored learning and growth module - you can see whatever you want! These little guys are particularly interested in making a name for themselves and are eager to learn new things. Therefore, the company must have a seamless online learning platform, such as an intranet school that can provide some short video tutorials, a knowledge base of big names at any time, and even an AI system that recommends what courses you should learn based on your position and interests, so that they feel that they are getting better every day, not a waste of time!

3. A work experience module that allows you to decide on your own - "I am the one who decides my job!" 🙂For example, some companies use attendance apps that can choose office hours by themselves (of course, no one cares about it at all, there must be rules), and also an intelligent office system that can adjust the lighting of the station and air conditioner by themselves, and even an anonymous online suggestion channels that make people feel that the company "understands me" and "respects me"! Very novel

4. Data-driven feedback and recognition module - more do and praise more, and full of accomplishment! 🎉Young people care about how others view their jobs. If there is a system like game rankings, you can complete a project and help colleagues a lot, the system or leader can immediately give you a small badge and points, or publicly praise it in the team group. The records are clear, and you can read the data at the end of the year! This is more empty talk than "You've performed well recently"

5. Immersive corporate culture experience module - not only to give money to eat, but also to have a "soul"! ✨💼This sounds mysterious, but in fact it is to use technological means to make the nihilistic corporate culture "live". For example, if you set up a virtual company hall, new employees can "stroll around" and trigger various short story animations that introduce the company's history and values; or if you set up an online interest club, those who like to play basketball and watch TV series can find an organization at any time, which is much more useful than posting slogans and posters on the wall!

6. Having said so much, let’s choose a few common questions to describe them? Answer it? I don’t ask for the right thing, but it’s all the truth!

Q: Our company is small and doesn’t have that much money to buy these fashionable things. What should I do? 🤔 Answer: Actually, you don’t have to buy the most expensive one! You can first try out the most basic free version of the tools, such as using Tencent Documents to collaborate and create a "colleague" on WeChat to let everyone speak freely. The key is to get your heart out and make Gen Z feel that the company is willing to try to change for them, rather than just ignore everything, which is better than anything!

Q: Will these things make employees just think about playing and not work hard? 🐟Answer : Puff! It depends on how the company guides and manages it! Tools themselves are dead, and people are alive. You must clearly define which hard-core tools are necessary for work, and which are soft tools to adjust life and improve morale. You must also use them with rules and regulations and no reins. If you use it well, your efficiency will increase. How can you still catch fish?

Q: When choosing these techs, are there any pitfalls that you should pay attention to? Don’t spend money to regret it? ! 🔍Answer : Must be there! The first thing is to be true and sincere. First, ask your company's Gen Z employees what they like to use and hate . Don't make a decision with a group of big bosses! Many times the boss thinks it’s so good that he looks “scattered” when he is young! Secondly, it’s too complicated to avoid talking. Gen Z doesn’t have to read hundreds of pages of the manual, so he has to “get it”! Finally, the security of data... (Hey, boss, do you pay attention to this?)! ..It must also be considered!

Q: What if the old employees feel that they are not used to these new things, what if they have conflicts with young people? 🙄 vs 😊 Answer: This is not simple. What kind of online "new and old inheritance" activity is to let Gen Z teach old employees to use those fancy functions. Old employees will pass on their valuable work experience to young people. You teach me and I teach you, everyone can make progress together and enhance their relationship. How great! Understand each other

I personally think that Gen Z Tech is not a decoration used by the company to "show off skills" for outsiders, but a "concern companion" that is used to enhance the daily work experience of a group of energetic and energetic young employees. The company invests some thoughts and small money on this, which can be exchanged for their sincerity and hard-working enthusiasm. This deal is cost-effective!
