Nearly half of Gen Z retail workers (49%) will only report workplace violence if they could make the report in an anonymous manner and more than a third (38%) have witnessed workplace violence happening to another employee in the last five years compared to 13% of Baby Boomers, 20% of Gen X and 22% of millennials.

Those are findings from a Traliant report revealing generational differences in workplace violence prevention training and reporting. Traliant is a provider of online compliance training.

The study, " The Retail Report: Traliant's 2024 Workplace Violence Prevention Pulse Survey," polled over 500 full-time U.S. retail employees, according to a press release.

"The retail industry is a challenging space as employees are at higher risk for workplace violence and employers have a growing list of requirements to contend with when it comes to keeping their workers safe," Michael Johnson, chief strategy officer at Traliant, said in the release. "Our study identifies critical areas where retailers need to understand generational differences in the workforce so they can enhance workplace violence prevention programs and create safer work environments."
