Gen Z has never known a world without digital connectivity, and artificial intelligence (AI) is not a distant concept to them.

In the age of Gen Z dating, millennials find themselves grappling with terms like breadcrumbing, situationships, and ghosting. Gone are the days of clear labels and simple intentions. Now, it's all about ambiguity and emotional gymnastics.

A new generational cohort, Generation Beta, will officially begin on 1 January 2025, marking the emergence of a cohort expected to grow up in a world defined by rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), digital connectivity, and pressing environmental challenges.

Gen Z should keep in mind that the US cannot afford to overlook a partner like Bangladesh given the country’s pivotal position in South Asia’s economic landscape.

Bangladesh has recently witnessed extraordinary times. In July 2024, what began as a student movement demanding a restructuring of the government job quota system escalated into a countrywide mass movement for equality, justice, and democratic freedom.

From values, work ethics, and communication styles, to even their appearance, Gen Z see things from a different perspective. Given how workplaces are beginning to be more immersed in the Gen Z experience and how they are the future, it is a good idea to be acquainted with their distinct characteristics so that we can develop a better understanding, collaborate better, and make the most of their immense potential.

Gen Zers have sort of re-shaped the workplace or at least are attempting to. Working alongside them are millennials who, safe to say, have been in the workforce for quite several years. This generational mix is proving to be a hotbed for innovation albeit with its numerous challenges.
