A study by Deputy, a specialized staff scheduling and management software company, has revealed that Gen Zers are now making up 41 percent of the U.S. shift workforce, making up a significant percentage of the workforce compared to millennials at 40 percent. The study also highlighted the positive contributions of frontline Gen Zer employees in the rapidly growing hospitality, healthcare, retail, and service sectors. Despite the trend of tightening requirements for in-person work at companies with large office-based staff, Gen Zs have helped drive increased flexibility at companies using shift organization. Deputy CEO Silvija Martincevic said Gen Z is challenging the dominant narrative about difficulties the cohort has faced fitting into office workplaces by changing the contours and performance of their shift work.
