‘You don't know what you don't know': Why gen Z may struggle with soft skills at work

COVID-19 changed the way we work and for many in generation Z, also known as gen Z, it also disrupted the way they learn how to work. Having entered the workforce during lockdowns and remote classes, a lot of young professionals missed out on the in-person learning that comes with internships and early jobs. Now, as return-to-office policies kick in and many companies bring employees back into a shared space, some experts say gen-Zers may need a bit of guidance. 'It's in all kinds of companies,' said Julie Blais Comeau, chief etiquette officer at in a phone interview with CTV 'What is now lacking (are) the communication skills, the interpersonal skills.' Born between 1997 and 2012, according to Statistics Canada, gen-Z workers are entering the workforce during a period of generational change and those gaps are becoming more visible. 'We're at a time where the newer generations are more educated than ever,' said Blais Comeau. 'They have bachelor's degrees, they have master's degrees … but the whole side of the people skills, what is often referred to as the 'soft skills,' are not as developed.' 'You don't know what you don't know' Experts say the reasons are complex. Blais Comeau points to shifting family dynamics and the decline of once-routine social learning moments, such as Sunday family dinners, as contributing factors. She also says schools have also pulled back on teaching basic manners and professional behaviours. Susy Fossati, director of Avignon Etiquette in Toronto, says what's being described as a gen-Z problem starts long before they enter the workforce and it's not necessarily their fault. 'You don't know what you don't know,' she said in a video interview with CTV 'Whether (it's) a skill that they were never taught in school, whether they were not taught at home, whether they were not taught correctly … and then decided, you know what, this is not important.' Ashley Kelly, founder and CEO of the workplace inclusion consultancy CultureAlly, says gen-Zers simply missed out on the 'micro-lessons' that previous generations learned through in-person exposure. 'They came into the workforce during COVID,' said Kelly in a video interview with CTV 'They missed out on a ton of these micro-lessons that you pick up just by being in the office — seeing how people dress, how they handle tough conversations, how they show up in meetings.' Kelly says this lack of in-office experience has left many younger employees uncertain about workplace norms, especially when it comes to things like boundaries, body language and communication tone. 'The blurred professional boundaries is a thing,' she said. 'Gen Z grew up online. Casual communication was the norm for them. I think a lot of them do struggle to shift to a more formal method of communication.' 'They do want to learn' Still, Kelly says it's important to recognize gen Z's contributions to the work culture. 'They bring a ton of positives to the workforce,' she said. They really value transparency, flexibility and inclusion,' she said. 'I'll say too: they push organizations to live up to those values, and I think that that's really good for everyone and for business in general.' Kelly also stresses that the generation is eager to improve. 'They're really eager to learn and grow, and they want that feedback, and they want clear expectations,' she said. 'They do want to learn.' Blais Comeau says she sees that eagerness firsthand in her workshops and coaching sessions. She says the response from gen-Z participants is consistently positive. Both she and Fossati argue that etiquette should be reframed, not as rigid rules, but as a tool for confidence, clarity and connection — especially in today's multigenerational workplaces. 'We actually have five generations of people in the workforce,' Fossati said. 'That in and of itself is a diversity that we have to embrace … the more open we are to sharing our wealth of knowledge with one another, I think just the richer everyone comes out of it.'

How Canada could boost disease surveillance to make up for U.S. health cuts

Canada should do more to strengthen its health surveillance systems as cuts to U.S. health institutions threaten access to crucial monitoring data, experts say in an editorial published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) this week. The editorial says cuts within the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the National Institutes of Health and the federal Department of Health and Human Services could strip Canada and other countries of valuable health data. "We've had a decades-long relationship with the Centers for Disease Control and other organizations in the States," said co-author Dr. Shannon Charlebois, a family physician and CMAJ's medical editor. "As those are dismantled, we're not going to have our early warning systems." For example, when the mpox virus broke out in the U.S., Charlebois said the CDC formally notified the Public Health Agency of Canada. This comes, the authors say, as a "crisis of communicable diseases is unfolding in North America," pointing to increasing rates of syphilis and HIV in Canada, along with measles outbreaks and livestock culls due to avian influenza. "We can't obviously control everything that happens in the U.S., but we can improve our own systems," said co-author Dr. Jasmine Pawa, public health and preventive medicine physician at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto. U.S. cuts should 'light a fire' to act on surveillance There have long been calls for Canada to improve surveillance of infectious diseases. "This should really light a fire under policymakers to take very seriously this question of public health surveillance," said Dr. Lorian Hardcastle, associate professor in the Faculty of Law and Cumming School of Medicine at the University of Calgary who specialises in health law and policy. What the U.S. does in public health has a ripple effect, she said. "When you have this major world player pull back out of public health surveillance and is no longer resourcing public health in the manner that they've historically done, then there's a call to others to step up their game." Beyond formal warnings, Charlebois said there are also informal links between the two countries that can help in planning. But with layoffs and budget cuts, now "we don't know who to call to get that informal information," she in an interview with CBC Radio's All in a Day. WATCH | Yukon doctors say territory is vulnerable after U.S. health cuts: Yukon doctors say U.S. CDC and FDA cuts leave territory vulnerable 3 months ago Duration 1:27 Earlier this month, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced thousands of job cuts at the CDC, FDA and National Institutes of Health. Yukon doctors are now saying these cuts leave the territory vulnerable. What can be done here In Canada, one of the major hurdles to increasing surveillance is getting provinces and territories to collaborate and share data in a timely, uniform way, said Hardcastle. "A lot of it is just needing the political will to make it happen, which is a huge challenge," she said. But she said there are also tools Canada could implement, including electronic medical records, and better waste water surveillance for antimicrobial resistance. Hardcastle said that kind of surveillance was done during the COVID-19 pandemic and stepping it up could be beneficial not only for infectious disease monitoring, but for public health in general. That would give policymakers an early alert of problems, she said, "rather than waiting for things to really snowball." Others, like Charlebois, are calling for a national vaccine registry, so patients and medical professionals can keep track of immunizations and pinpoint who is protected and who is at risk. "We don't have a national vaccine registry and we are not meeting our obligation to the World Health Organization on that," said Charlebois. Misinformation crosses borders too The CMAJ editorial said all of this is compounded by another concern: misinformation. "People living in Canada are vulnerable to a cross-border bleed of not only microorganisms, but also of attitudes, health misinformation and exposure to biased U.S. media," the authors wrote. Misinformation can further challenge the health system, said infectious disease physician Dr. Michael Gardam, who has watched as the issue has undermined efforts to control the spread of illnesses, like measles. "People have stopped following what were highly effective control measures. Why have they stopped? Because people are telling them through social media not to follow them anymore," said Gardam. With the changes to health institutions in the U.S., Gardam said Canada and other countries will have a void to fill, but it will take time and effort. "We didn't build up our surveillance because the U.S. had our back," he said. "If they don't have your back anymore, you have to create it yourself or you have to create new partnerships with other countries to do it."
