Discover how Gen Z’s emphasis on mental health, digital fluency, and flexibility compares to Baby Boomers, Gen X, and Millennials—and what it means for building a thriving, multigenerational healthcare workforce.

Attitudes about work among Generation Z (those born roughly between 1997 and 2012) diverge from previous generations—namely Baby Boomers (1946–1964), Generation X (1965–1980) and millennials (1981–1996)—in several noteworthy ways. These differences can present both challenges and opportunities for physician practices aiming to create supportive, productive work environments.

Gen Z is entering the workforce at a time of major change, marked by a rise in telehealth services, greater emphasis on mental health support and a renewed focus on diversity and inclusion. As the health care industry adapts to these shifts, it is crucial to understand Gen Z’s expectations in order to recruit, train and retain talented staff.
