Boostworks report: What four generations want from work

This report explores how employers can build a culture that drives motivation, engagement and loyalty across four generations.

It surveys more than 5,600 working adults from the baby boomer, generation X, millennial and generation Z age groups.

The top three priorities of all four generations are work-life balance and flexible working arrangements, job security and stability, and recognition or clear development opportunities. 

The research also finds that between 40 and 44% of workers say their commute is worth it.

Download the full report to find out:

  • 10-19% of people say they feel excluded by office culture.
  • 50% disagree that office culture makes them feel disconnected.
  • Gen Z shows signs of needing extra support, with 20% saying expectations around attendance aren’t clear and 19% saying their manager doesn’t support flexible working.
