According to the McKinsey Health Institute&#8217;s (MHI) 2022 Global Gen Z Survey, its members are more likely to suffer from mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, <strong>centennials also show a greater interest in their physical and mental health<\/strong> than previous generations (Coe et al., 2023).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They turn to both conventional and alternative therapies, like meditation, and use digital tools to monitor their health, helping to normalize conversations about these topics and break taboos (Wyman, 2023).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this context, where self-care and mental health are gaining increasing importance, and Gen Z is emerging as a driving force behind these changes, it&#8217;s crucial for employers looking to hire young talent to understand the needs, behaviors, and emotional challenges they face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To gain a comprehensive view of this, researchers from the <a href=\"https:\/\/investigacionnegocios.tec.mx\/en\/gat-production?_gl=1%2A1x6eg94%2A_gcl_aw%2AR0NMLjE3Mjg0OTYyNzIuQ2owS0NRancwNWk0QmhEaUFSSXNBQl8yd2ZCbmdUQXBPZ1hXX0VRS2JQM3NRZUgtckhLWjJsbjFfNElIbndmWWtNTlpQTnBUWV9fWjRNWWFBbWxvRUFMd193Y0I.%2A_gcl_au%2AMTAxNzk2NTcwMC4xNzI4NDk2MjMx%2A_ga%2AMTAyNjA3MTI2OC4xNzI4NDk2MjMw%2A_ga_D9LSDN87GD%2AMTcyODQ5NjIzMC4xLjEuMTcyODQ5OTE5My41OS4wLjE5NDMwMDU4NDc.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cResponsible Production, Marketing, and Consumption\u201d<\/a> group at Tecnol\u00f3gico de Monterrey studied the perceptions, opinions, and experiences of 589 centennials regarding their physical and mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Physical Health vs. Mental Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Physical health generally refers to bodily well-being and optimal functioning, supported by proper diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mental health is emotional, psychological, and social well-being that allows individuals to reach their full potential, manage daily stress, be productive, and contribute to their community (WHO, 2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emotional well-being involves managing and understanding emotions, while psychological well-being includes self-acceptance, autonomy, purpose, personal growth, environmental mastery, and positive relationships (Ryff, 1989). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last but not least, social well-being refers to fulfilling relationships and the ability to adapt to various social environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Health Risk Behaviors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gen Z shows a growing concern for their physical health, with habits that reflect their interest in leading a healthy lifestyle and adopting preventive health behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearly 46% of the study participants eat three meals daily, 34% consume fruits and vegetables, and 61.3% eat breakfast daily, showing concern for a healthy diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, vitamins or natural supplements are low accessed (less than 30% use them regularly).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding physical exercise, 21.9% exercise daily, and 70% prefer walking as much as possible, seeing it as a way to reduce stress and improve their mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Around 60% sleep well during the week, though only 27% set aside time for relaxation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite these healthy habits, risky behaviors persist. About 20% of centennials eat junk food almost daily, and approximately 30% frequently consume three or more caffeinated drinks such as coffee, tea, or soda, indicating a need for greater awareness of these behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Emotional and Social Well-Being<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In our study, emotional well-being focused on the experience of positive emotions and overall life satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The results show that most Gen Z members frequently experience positive emotions like joy (77%), interest in life (over 75%), and satisfaction with their existence (more than two-thirds).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only 11% expressed dissatisfaction with their life, and 8% reported little interest in it\u2014cases that, while few, should be taken into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most young Gen Z participants perceive their psychological well-being positively, with high self-acceptance and personal satisfaction: 78.4% feel satisfied with their lives, and 77.2% are confident in themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, around 85% appreciate their personality and feel proud of who they are and the life they lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personal growth in Gen Z shows a strong inclination toward continuous development: 81.4% enjoy planning their future and working on their goals, and 80.5% find satisfaction in their life objectives. However, 16.3% are still unclear about their life&#8217;s direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding environmental mastery, Gen Z reports the ability to manage their environment and create favorable conditions for their well-being. Yet, 41.9% feel overwhelmed by daily demands, 85.4% take responsibility for their situation, and 78.8% are willing to act to change it if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Closeness and Trust<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding interpersonal relationships, about 87% value friendship and trust their friends. However, the percentage of those experiencing loneliness is significant: 42.9% often feel lonely (due to having few friends to share concerns with), and more than half (56.4%) lack close trusting relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, 80.8% trust their opinions, even on controversial topics, but 46% have difficulty expressing them, and 35.2% are affected by others&#8217; opinions. Indeed 25.2% are influenced by people with strong convictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding social well-being, most young people perceive their social integration positively: around 66% feel part of a community and believe they have something valuable to contribute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, uncertainty exists regarding human kindness and societal function, as 45.4% don&#8217;t consider society a good place or improving, compared to 34.7% who do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another interesting finding is that 44.4% believe people are inherently good, while the rest disagree. This contrasts with their emotional well-being, where positive emotions and life satisfaction prevail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gen Z Employers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The study results reveal significant opportunities for organizations looking to integrate Mexican centennials into their workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding their emotional challenges and unique behaviors, particularly their growing interest in physical and mental health, will allow companies to develop differentiated value propositions aligned with their self-care, healthy nutrition, and exercise priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Gen Z already accounts for 24% of the global workforce and continues to grow (Manpower Group, 2023), companies have a key opportunity to attract this young talent and promote workplace well-being with a special focus on mental health resources, which are particularly valued by this generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For the full study<\/em>,<a href=\"https:\/\/investigacionnegocios.tec.mx\/sites\/g\/files\/vgjovo1731\/files\/03%20WP%20Gen%20Z%20Sostenibilidad%20y%20bienestar%20-%20vers.4-13ago24-opt.pdf?_gl=1*zffbjr*_gcl_au*MTE2OTA4NzEzOS4xNzI3OTk3MzE0LjExNjk5MDg2OTkuMTcyODA4NzQ0My4xNzI4MDg3NDQz*_ga*MTc5OTg5MzYwOS4xNzI3OTk3MzE0*_ga_D9LSDN87GD*MTcyODQ5NDU3OS4xMi4wLjE3Mjg0OTQ1NzkuNjAuMC4zMDk1MTQ4ODg.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> <\/a><em><a href=\"https:\/\/investigacionnegocios.tec.mx\/sites\/g\/files\/vgjovo1731\/files\/03%20WP%20Gen%20Z%20Sostenibilidad%20y%20bienestar%20-%20vers.4-13ago24-opt.pdf?_gl=1*zffbjr*_gcl_au*MTE2OTA4NzEzOS4xNzI3OTk3MzE0LjExNjk5MDg2OTkuMTcyODA4NzQ0My4xNzI4MDg3NDQz*_ga*MTc5OTg5MzYwOS4xNzI3OTk3MzE0*_ga_D9LSDN87GD*MTcyODQ5NDU3OS4xMi4wLjE3Mjg0OTQ1NzkuNjAuMC4zMDk1MTQ4ODg.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click here<\/a>.<br>For the complete series of reports on Gen Z from the Tec Business School, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/investigacionnegocios.tec.mx\/es\/genz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/investigacionnegocios.tec.mx\/es\/genz<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7e4ac651328708ea719ac0894fa30934\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">References&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Coe, E., Enomoto, K., &amp; Healy, C.
