Generation ReZignation
woeful technology forces dissatisfi ed Gen Z to quit jobs
Chris Wacker Chief executive, Laserfi che
One in fi ve (20%) of U.K. working age Generation Z have quit their jobs because of the useless technology they use at work, according to our new research. Worryingly, half (49%) of respondents haven’t yet resigned, but would consider leaving their company due to outdated or diffi cult to use technology, adding further strain to hiring managers amidst a global talent crisis. As new kids on the workplace block, Gen
Z have grown up with tablets, smartwatches and laptops. This research attempted to fi nd out how this generation views workplace technology given they expect the best and have only known digital and instant. Yet, employers are falling short and the
technology at work is not up to scratch. The top frustrations for these younger employees are that technology is too slow (54%), too old (35%) or there is lack of tools that help with time-consuming tasks (35%). As companies around Britain battle with the
Great Resignation, they must understand the key to attracting and retaining talent is by improving the employee experience. It has a big part to play enabling staff to feel empowered, energised and engaged in the workplace.
Home is where the tech is From fi bre optic internet, 4K television and an abundance of smart devices, the research revealed that Generation Z has much better technology at home:
Four-fi fths (78%) have a laptop at home and half (53%) have an iPad or tablet. Nearly three-fi fths (57%) use a desktop computer at work, over half (56%) use a laptop and nearly a third (30%) use an iPad or tablet. Three-quarters (77%) have a personal smartphone compared to only two-fi fths (42%) who use smartphones and a third (34%) who use desktop phones at work. Nearly half (46%) have high speed or fi bre optic internet at home compared to only over a third (37%) in the workplace. Two-fi fths (41%) have a virtual assistant at home compared to one in 10 (12%) at work. Nearly half (46%) own a smartwatch, and more than half (53%) have Bluetooth head- phones at home.

Talent crisis The escalating global talent crisis has made headlines around the world and is showing no signs of slowing down. Gen Z’ers are used to better, more intuitive tech. Companies need to improve, otherwise the younger workforce will hand in their notice. If the pandemic has taught businesses
anything, it is that employees need to come fi rst. It is up to businesses to foster the right environment, so that staff can fl ourish. When the workforce is happy and produc-
tive, it’s a win for employees and a win for em- ployers. CCR
