The Deloitte 2026 Gen Z & Millennial Survey highlights five big shifts shaping how younger workers think about careers, money, and the future.
Key takeaway:
Gen Z and millennials are prioritizing stability, well-being, and sustainable growth over rapid advancement. They want careers—and lives—built on durable foundations rather than traditional timelines or fast-paced expectations.
To attract and retain younger talent, companies need to:
Provide stability and clear growth pathways
Address financial stressors (especially housing and cost of living)
Redesign leadership roles to protect well-being
Accelerate AI readiness and training
Build systems to preserve institutional knowledge
