The stakes are high for Gen Z workers, and as they take theirplaces in organizations their expectations about work, money andthe workplace itself will change how business is done. Employerswho fail to understand them will be left behind.

So say report findings from Nintex, which also says that as more Gen Zemployees enter the workplace, bosses are realizing that they don'treally understand this latest generation of workers. In addition,says the report, Gen Z is sufficiently different that theirinfluence on the workplace will change how a lot of things aredone.

For instance. Gen Z workers aren't like job-hopping millennials; in fact, 60 percent ofGen Z respondents plan to stick it out at their first job for morethan a year, with 71 percent of that group saying they intend to bethere for two or more years.

Of course, those plans could change if Gen Z expectations arenot met—such as a promotion within a year of starting their firstjob (expected by 53 percent of respondents) or the even moreprecocious 30 percent who say they'll be looking for that promotionwithin 9 months.

It's not because they feel entitled, though—weighed down bystudent debt, they want that promotion for the extra money it willbring so that they can work harder at digging themselves out fromunder financially. In fact, they're already worried that theirchoice of degree might not get them paid enough to pay off their loans or to support afamily—since they chose those degree fields out of sincere interestrather than financial concerns.

In addition, managers beware: these workers want facetime—meetings in person instead of virtual check-ins (the latteronly espoused by a mere 4 percent).

And look out if the tech at your company inspires fear ofreplacement or elimination rather than enthusiasm over new ways toget work done: despite the fact that they—and their bosses—knowthat they're the resident tech experts, and that those bosses willadopt new tech and tools recommended by these youngest workers, GenZers will stand against new tech rather than being enthusiasticadopters.

Still, they have no patience with tools and tech that don't getthe job done; bosses can expect 79 percent of Gen Z workers tocircumvent IT already in place to use something that's moreefficient and productive. Not that they'll submit an officialrequest for assistance with malfunctioning tech; just 48 percentwill do so while the rest either turn to Google or to coworkers forhelp.
