Alli Peck says Gen Z has strong tech skills but weaker soft skills. Companies waste that talent if they don't build real culture and mental health support instead of relying on ping-pong tables and pizza parties.

Companies are learning that Gen Z isn't the easiest generation to work with. Yikes. This article goes on to say that Gen Z is well versed with technology and online work and communication. However, they could really brush up on their soft skills. I love that they go on to say that companies are missing an awesome opportunity if they aren't playing into the skills that Gen Z has, which I completely agree with. Organizations would be very wise if it prioritized company culture. Gen Z does not want ping pong tables and pizza parties. They prioritize their mental health, and if they're working for a company that doesn't allow them to do that, they'll skedaddle. This article doesn't describe this as a new trend, but it's a new way of working that we all need to shift towards.
