It seems that Gen Z and even some Millennial employees are less tech savvy than many employers might expect. It\u2019s an assumption that\u2019s leading to a sense of \u2018tech shame\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Younger workers may have grown up using Snapchat, TikTok and Minecraft, but they\u2019re not always equipped with the skills they need to adapt to the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent study has found that one in five employees aged 18 to 29 feel judged when they encounter technical issues at work. That\u2019s compared to just one in 25 employees aged 40 or over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution may lie in providing better training, not just for younger colleagues and first-jobbers, but for the whole team. Some Gen Z workers may have started their careers during the pandemic. That means they will never have experienced anything other than a digital working environment. Especially if they work remotely or in a hybrid role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as fixing any skill gaps there may be, whole-team training can provide a much-needed confidence boost for young employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another consideration is the provision of tools and devices your team has access to \u2013 especially if they\u2019re working remotely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Younger workers with less available income to spend on home office equipment may be less likely to speak up if they\u2019re struggling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply checking in with employees \u2013 particularly if they\u2019re not in the office \u2013 can make a big difference to their engagement, productivity, and confidence. If there are any issues, big or small, find a way to put them right, and you\u2019ll notice a positive shift in the whole business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
