They expect flexibility, mental health support, and a sense of purpose at work. If workloads are vague, communication is inconsistent, or their contributions feel meaningless, employee engagement can suffer.<em> And employee retention rates follow suit.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To adapt, start by asking your team what \u201cwell-being\u201d means in their roles.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mental-health-is-no-longer-optional\">Mental health is no longer optional<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Mental health isn\u2019t a side conversation anymore. Gen Zs expect real conversations around burnout prevention and burnout recovery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Managers and teams need to work together to create psychological safety.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A great place to start is with brief check-in questions at the beginning of team calls or 1:1s.<\/strong> These questions alone can surface early signs of stress before they become performance issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to also explicitly ask about mental health. Ask questions like \u201cHow can we support your mental well-being?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Take answers seriously.<\/strong> If employees say that healthcare costs are weighing on them, look into an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.formhealth.co\/employers\">employer healthcare cost reduction<\/a> solution. That might be access to a telehealth app or discounts on certain care services. Or you might consider a reasonable salary increase.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"969\" height=\"470\" src=\"https:\/\/www.outbackteambuilding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.outbackteambuilding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-2.png 969w, https:\/\/www.outbackteambuilding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-2-300x146.png 300w, https:\/\/www.outbackteambuilding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-2-768x373.png 768w, https:\/\/www.outbackteambuilding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-2-600x291.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 969px) 100vw, 969px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.formhealth.co\/employers\">Image Source<\/a>) &#8211; FormHealth<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Privacy and online safety also contribute to employee mental health. Ask employees how comfortable they feel using your software and if they have any privacy concerns. Gen Z employees may stress about data privacy, cyber risks, and being monitored while using work tools.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Again, think about solutions.<\/strong> Tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threatlocker.com\/platform\/web-control\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cloud-based web filtering<\/a>, for instance, help teams limit exposure to malicious or unsafe sites without intrusive monitoring.
