Setting the Stage for a Meaningful HR Dialogue
On 11th October 2025, the MBA Department of Sankalchand Patel University, one of North Gujarat’s most respected academic institutions, hosted an insightful HR discussion focused on Generation Z and the evolving future of the workforce. The session brought together experienced HR leaders and industry professionals to explore how organizations must adapt to a rapidly changing talent landscape.
Industry Leaders Sharing Real-World Perspectives
The dialogue saw participation from leading organizations such as Harsh Engineering, Emcure Pharma, Jyoti CNC, and Samarth Diamond. Each company brought practical, real-world experiences into the conversation, making the session highly relevant for students, educators, and HR professionals alike. The common focus remained clear — understanding the mindset, expectations, and challenges of Generation Z.
Understanding the Gen Z Mindset
Speakers discussed how Gen Z enters the workforce with sharp ambition, strong technological fluency, and a natural ability to adapt to change. At the same time, they highlighted the restlessness often seen in this generation, shaped by fast-moving digital environments and instant access to information. The discussion balanced Gen Z’s strengths in creativity and innovation with the challenges they face around patience, consistency, and long-term commitment.
Redefining Talent in a Changing World
A key takeaway from the session was the need for organizations to rethink what “talent” truly means today. As tradition and technology increasingly collide, HR leaders emphasized that companies must evolve their standards without losing their core values. The dialogue explored how Gen Z is likely to reshape workplace culture, communication styles, and expectations around growth and purpose.
Bridging the Gap Between Ethics and Expectations
Panel members addressed the gaps that often emerge when traditional work ethics meet modern expectations. While Gen Z readily embraces new technologies, building trust in organizational processes can take time. Long-term stability and loyalty were identified as areas where younger professionals seek deeper meaning and alignment with personal values rather than conventional career paths.
Insights from Samarth Diamond Leadership
Representing Samarth Diamond Group, Head HR Shri Chintanbhai Mewada and Ms. Chetanaben Patel shared impactful insights drawn from real workplace experiences. Their perspectives highlighted the importance of mentorship, transparent communication, and mutual respect between generations. They emphasized that strong guidance and clarity can help young professionals channel their potential more effectively.
A Two-Way Evolution for the Future Workforce
The session concluded with a powerful reminder — the future workforce will not simply adapt to organizations. Companies must also learn to adapt to the workforce they are welcoming. By evolving HR practices, nurturing purpose-driven careers, and maintaining strong cultural foundations, organizations can build workplaces where both experience and new perspectives thrive together.
This thoughtful HR dialogue at Sankalchand Patel University served as an important step toward understanding and shaping the future of work in a Gen Z-driven world.
