A recent analysis from the Wellbeing@Work Index reveals that the well-being of Generation Z workers in Poland has noticeably declined, largely due to a decrease in their sense of security in the job market. The report indicates that despite Generation Z workers, particularly those under 24, initially having high well-being indicators, the current situation sees older age groups, specifically those over 55, faring better in terms of workplace well-being. This shift highlights a concerning trend where younger workers feel increasingly threatened by economic instability and job insecurity.

Factors impacting well-being in the workplace include financial security, income levels, and job roles. The report suggests that younger employees are becoming more aware of precarious employment conditions, which has exacerbated their anxiety and affected their overall mental health and satisfaction at work. As financial pressures mount and job opportunities become more competitive, the resulting atmosphere of insecurity has led to a pervasive sense of unease among young workers, thereby impacting their productivity and engagement.

The implications of these findings underscore the need for businesses to focus on enhancing safety nets and support systems for young workers. As organizations strive to improve workplace well-being, understanding and addressing the unique challenges faced by Generation Z is paramount. Addressing these issues not only benefits the employees but also contributes positively to overall organizational health, retention, and employee satisfaction in an evolving job market.
