Gen Z most likely to leave a toxic workplace

Editor's Note

A recent survey by online platform The Muse finds that Generation Z workers are the most likely to leave a job because of a toxic workplace, even though they have spent the least amount of time in the workplace, the March 14 Benefit News reports.

The survey showed that toxic situations at work have been experienced by:

• 79% of Generation X
• 74% of Millennials
• 59% of Baby Boomers
• 44% of Generation Z.

In addition, 44% of all respondents who reported toxic situations predominantly blamed their leaders, and 41% said direct managers were responsible.

When asked what could improve a toxic workplace, the most identified step was leadership and management training.
