AFP Commissioner says Gen Z need the most reassurance

He said a study found they need praise three times a week

Millennials need praise three times a year and Gen X once a year

The Australian Federal Police Commissioner has revealed how he has to give Gen Z workers more praise than their older colleagues.

Reece Kershaw told a Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs committee on Thursday that the youngest generation is by far the neediest when it comes to approval.

The AFP commissioner said Gen Z needed praise 'three times a week' - or 156 times a year - whereas millennials require recognition three times a year and Gen X once a year.

The comments came as the country's top cop discussed findings from research into the most effective ways to develop the workforce.

'We learnt that Gen Z, the younger generation, need three times a week praise from their supervisors,' Mr Kershaw said.
