Gen Z the pragmatic generation: EY Survey

FG Trade—Getty Images

Gen Z is being labeled the pragmatic generation – a cohort that values career stability, meaningful work, and personal well-being over traditional measures of success like salary alone, according to the EY 2025 Global Generational Survey. Employers, take note: this pragmatic generation is redefining success, viewing money merely as a means to an end rather than the ultimate goal.

EY survey reveals Gen Z mindset

The EY survey of over 15,000 young adults worldwide found that 78% of Gen Z respondents prioritize work–life balance and social impact over higher pay. The pragmatic generation is less willing to sacrifice personal time for long hours at the office, and 65% say they would accept a lower salary for greater flexibility. As reported by Millionaire MNL, companies that fail to recognize this shift risk high turnover and difficulty filling key roles.

Redefining success beyond salary

For the pragmatic generation, success encompasses mental health support, professional development, and alignment with corporate values. Only 22% of Gen Z employees rank compensation as their top motivator. Instead, Gen Z measures career satisfaction by opportunities to learn new skills (84%) and to make a positive societal impact (81%). This data, highlighted in Millionaire MNL’s recent analysis, signals a fundamental change in workplace expectations.

Employers need new strategies

Organizations that cling to outdated reward systems, such as annual bonuses tied strictly to financial targets, may find themselves out of step. To engage the pragmatic generation, leaders should:

  • Offer continuous learning stipends and clear upskilling paths.

  • Provide mental health days and flexible scheduling.

  • Embed social responsibility into business goals.
    By adopting these strategies, companies can attract and retain Gen Z talent hungry for purpose-driven work.

Embracing purpose and flexibility

Flexible policies rank among the most effective levers. The EY survey noted that 72% of Gen Z would leave a rigid work environment within a year. The pragmatic generation demands remote-friendly roles, compressed workweeks, and autonomy over their schedules. Employers can respond by piloting hybrid models and results-oriented metrics rather than time-based assessments.

The road ahead

As the pragmatic generation continues to enter the workforce, its influence will reshape corporate culture. Boards and C-suites must integrate Gen Z’s values into long-term planning, or risk eroding their employer brand. Future success will hinge on aligning business objectives with employee well-being and societal contribution.

This shift is far more than a trends report, it’s a wake-up call. As Millionaire MNL has noted, companies that pivot to meet Gen Z’s pragmatic priorities will gain a competitive edge, while those that resist will face a talent drain.
