The current workforce comprises a mosaic of generations, including Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and the newly emerging Generation Z. This qualitative study provides valuable insights into the professional needs of Generation Z employees in Student Affairs. The aim is to enhance understanding among their supervisors regarding this new generation in the workforce. The phenomenological exploration involved eight participants who are Generation Z professionals working in Student Affairs in Long Island, NY, and Brooklyn, NY. The findings revealed that this generation, having grown up with technology at their fingertips, has diverse needs when it comes to their supervisors and institutions. One key aspect that emerged from the study is the importance of establishing meaningful relationships with students and the desire to make a positive impact. Additionally, Generation Z employees expressed a need for a new work-life balance that includes flexibility from their supervisors. Another significant theme highlighted in the study is the necessity for a strong relationship with their supervisors, who they expect to act as mentors and support both their personal and professional goals. Furthermore, in the aftermath of COVID-19, these professionals reported that the needs of their students have increased substantially. Serving as front-line responders, they expressed a heightened need for support from their supervisors to effectively address these challenges. By prioritizing mentorship, promoting flexibility, and nurturing meaningful relationships, supervisors can not only empower this generation to thrive but also enhance the overall effectiveness of Student Affairs.
