Gen Z leads : 2024 political discourse in Indian workplaces: Indeed Report
A new study by job portal Indeed reveals a significant generational divide in attitudes towards political discussions at workplaces across India, as the country awaits the results of its general election.
The research shows that Gen Z employees (born 1997-2012) are the most enthusiastic about engaging in cross-partisan discourse, with 64 percent actively participating in political conversations at their workplaces. This contrasts with 54 percent of Gen X employees (born 1965-1980) and 55 percent of Baby Boomers (born 1955-1964).
Additionally, the study found that Gen Z (46 percent) and Millennial (65 percent) workers are more comfortable working alongside colleagues with opposing political views compared to Gen X (38 percent) and Baby Boomers (38 percent).
The survey, conducted from March to April 2024, included responses from more than 2,600 employees and over 1,200 employers across various age groups, regions, and industries.
