Recent research and corporate developments highlight the influence of Generation Z and artificial intelligence on the modern workplace. 

Reports from International Workplace Group (IWG) indicate that AI is acting as a catalyst for Gen Z professionals, with 82% of respondents believing it accelerates their ascent into leadership roles. IWG research suggests that 80% of executives have observed younger employees assuming senior responsibilities earlier than previous generations. 

Complementary research conducted for ASUS shows that Gen Z employees are driving demand for advanced technology and flexibility. Approximately 68% of managers report that Gen Z expects workplace AI and office technology to match the high-performance tools used in their private lives. To address these technological expectations, ASUS has introduced Asus MyExpert software to assist with AI-driven tasks such as document summarization and meeting transcription.

A study by Ipsos-Doxa for Asus involving 400 Italian managers further details these shifts. The research found that 47% of managers—with that figure exceeding 50% in large corporations—recognize that young employees have a fundamentally different approach to work, prioritizing well-being, sustainability, rapid growth, and personal values. 

Technological performance remains a primary driver of engagement; 64% of respondents noted that low-performance or outdated hardware significantly diminishes the motivation and productivity of younger staff. Beyond technology, Gen Z is characterized by a resistance to repetitive tasks and rigid schedules, alongside an openness to diversity and inclusion (33%) and environmental awareness (25%).
