Connecting with Gen Z in the Hybrid Workplace
Crystal Boysen, Chief People Officer at Vimeo, shares her expertise on building a sense of connection in hybrid and flexible work environments. She discusses fostering connection with the incoming Gen Z workforce and how leveraging video can enhance communication and engagement.
About Connection 🤝
"Engagement to me, in the simplest form, is the connection that we create with our employees. It's about capturing not only their minds but also their hearts. It's the connection that goes both ways—their connection to the company and to what we stand for, and our connection with each one of them as human beings."
About Gen Z 🤸♂️
"Gen Z has one of the lowest engagement rates across any working generation, but they're quickly becoming a large part of our workforce. They want career growth opportunities, to feel cared for at work, and to be acknowledged as whole human beings. It's crucial to listen to their needs and adjust our programs to meet them...
...They also grew up in a different world in terms of access to information systems. For them, it's about bite-size chunks of information when and where they need it, rather than long emails or formal addresses. We need to adjust our communication styles to align with their preferences."
About Using Video 🎬
"Flexibility and connection are often at odds in the workplace. People want to work when and where they want, but they also crave connection. We've found that using video is one of the best ways to build connection while allowing for flexibility. It's about finding that middle ground to create a fulfilling work environment."
