The Agenda: What's 'career-maxxing'? Is it Gen Z’s new playbook for work?

View descriptionShare
 

Gen Z is rewriting the career playbook. Instead of sticking to one company and climbing the traditional corporate ladder, more young professionals are moving between roles, building side hustles and exploring multiple income streams, with flexibility and financial security high on the list.

New research by International Workplace Group found 43% of Gen Z professionals had changed roles two to three times in the past three years, while a third already have or are considering a side hustle. In Singapore, 32% are looking at a “hybrid career”.

With AI also expected to reshape careers, is having multiple income streams becoming a smarter way to future-proof your working life? Or could Gen Z be spreading themselves too thin?

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Vijayakumar Tangarasan, Country Head for Malaysia, Singapore & Brunei, IWG, to find out more.
