"The turmoil of the past few years has made workers of all ages more stressed: In Gallup's 2022 workplace survey, 52% of workers in the US and Canada said they felt stressed at work daily — a record high. In the UK, work-related stress, anxiety, and depression are up 14% from 2020, according to Health and Safety Executive statistics. But Gen Zers, who are just beginning their career journeys, are having an especially difficult time. In a 2022 survey by the meditation app Calm, 58% of Gen Zers said they felt anxious frequently or all the time — a big jump from the one-third of Gen Xers and one-quarter of baby boomers who said the same. A Deloitte survey of 22,000 people from March found a similar result: Nearly half of Gen Zers said they felt anxious and stressed almost all the time, while only 39% of millennials said they felt the same.

It's clear: Gen Z is anxious. While anxiety is affecting all aspects of their lives, the impact on the workplace has become particularly acute — and it's starting to get on their bosses' nerves."
