Managing Gen Z

Two multiracial Gen Z employees, one with an auburn afro and the other with long dark hair, sit facing each other in teal chairs. The long-haired person is facing away from the camera at the left of the frame, while holding a tablet. The person with the afro is centered in the frame and facing the camera, while gesturing with one pink-manicured hand and holding a smartphone and pen with the other. They both wear white shirts and dark pants. The background is out of focus, but there are coral walls, mint shelving, a table and several stools, industrial lighting, large windows, and a safety-tape-lined step visible. The photo accompanies a blog post about managing Gen Z.

They are holding a pencil and clipboard. Pictured at left, a light-skinned person with long straight copper hair and a light blue blouse is holding color swatches with their arm rested atop the table. Various color swatches, paper, other work materials, and a turquoise coffee cup also sit on the table.
