Abstract
The chapter focuses on a relevant topic of interest for academics and practitioners alike. Leveraging a review of scholarly and practitioner literature, this chapter proposes a broad map of Gen Z employees' learning and development preferences at workplace, using a Work-integrated learning perspective. Findings suggest that Gen Z employees place a strong emphasis on continuous learning and development, access to technological solutions, collaborative and informal learning, consistent feedback, an enabling learning ecosystem, mentoring, gamification in learning, and knowledge sharing. This study offers insights for HR managers and policymakers to configure generation-specific practices and create an appealing learning ecosystem, congruent to learning styles of Gen Z members. It illustrates how organizations should revamp their existing learning and development (L&D) strategy to suit Gen Z learning expectations. The results of the study furnish crucial implications for learning and development practitioners and extend the literature on Gen Z at the workplace.
