A Forrester report examined the expectations of so-called Generation Z. Although technology continues to play an important role, there are certain expectations that are very different from those of older generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are five of the most notable:<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Two-in-one laptops are strongly preferred<\/strong> – about a third preferred a 2-in-1 laptop, higher than the 23% of millennials or 17% of Gen Xers.<\/li>\n
  2. Productivity tools are less in demand<\/strong> – younger workers still use them, but not as much as they are able to find other ways to get work done than just Word and Excel.<\/li>\n
  3. Security control<\/strong> – 46% of Gen Z employees want to choose their own security software.<\/li>\n
  4. Privacy is extremely important<\/strong> – younger workers are concerned about privacy. 23% of respondents do not want the company to access personal information on personal devices used for work.<\/li>\n
  5. There is no single workplace<\/strong> – apart from working from home, Gen Z is also more likely to work in one coworking space, on the way to work, or even at multiple locations within the office.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

    To balance it all out, Forrester also found that socioeconomic status, seniority, geography, and the role one plays in an organization can correlate better with technological preferences than with age.<\/p>\n\n\n
