Communication: What’s the Best Way?
| |
| We are experience many different communication challenges in our workforce everyday given the different communication styles of each of the generations in the workplace.

It depends…on the people you work with, the clients you interact with and the culture of your company.
As part of our research for Bridging the Generation Gap, Linda Gravett, PhD, SPHR, CEQC and I asked 500 individuals in each of the generations what their preferred communication method was in order to learn more about the different communication styles.
