HOW TO ATTRACT, COACH AND SCALE GEN Z TALENT WITH PERFORMANCE AI

The Workplace Is Broken for Gen Z

Gen Z is the largest—and most misunderstood—generation in your workforce.

They demand clarity, feedback, purpose, and coaching. Not someday—now.

But most orgs are still leading with outdated playbooks: annual reviews, vague feedback, and command-and-control leadership. It’s driving disengagement, ghosting, and turnover.

Hybrid work made the gap worse. Performance AI is how we fix it—fast.

Why Performance AI Is the Winning Strategy

Performance AI isn’t a “nice-to-have”—it’s the operating system for modern leadership.

It turns disconnected teams into high-performing cultures by:

  • Delivering real-time coaching nudges to managers
  • Mapping individual motivations to performance outcomes
  • Automating personalized feedback across the org
  • Reducing manager burnout by doing the “heavy lifting” of coaching

With a Performance AI platform, you unlock growth without adding headcount. You coach at scale.

You lead with precision, powered by data—not gut instinct.

Gen Z demands real-time, actionable feedback along with career clarity and purpose. They want a coach, not a boss.

You can’t deliver this manually. AI makes it possible—and scalable.

All data is grounded in Marlee’s global Gen Z Study—spanning 400,000 professionals across 23 years—and insights from the new book Workverse: Gen Z’s Playbook to Thrive at Work. With AI. With Humans. With Purpose.
