Gen Z employees seeking more say in how they work, making companies rethink strategy

The shift is taking different forms across companies: Deutsche Bank is focusing on flexible working and career mobility; InMobi on outcome-led performance and cross-functional opportunities; Emeritus on continuous learning; RPG Enterprises on remote work and greater career transparency; and Schneider Electric on internal mobility and AI-enabled skills development.
