With four generations now in the workplace together, the idea of socialising with alcohol is a thing of the past – and it’s not even gen Z’s fault
from the Work Foundation, a Lancaster University thinktank, and the International Alliance for Responsible Drinking suggests after-work drinks are dying out.No one’s are these days: “In recent years there has been a shift in attitudes towards the appropriateness of centring workplace social activities outside working hours or around the consumption of alcohol,” the report says.
But most of my formative professional experiences took place outside working hours and involved the consumption of alcohol!, plus with “four generations in the workplace together” now, we need to do things differently. I bet this is sober gen Z’s fault. They’ll have us celebrating good sales figures with a bubble tea, a vape and a TikTok dance soon.”. But lots of people of all ages don’t drink, plus this shift is probably more about the remote work revolution, which is driving “a need for virtual celebrations”.Work events don’t need to be virtual, but they should be inclusive.
