Since the age of time, different generations have had different communication nuances and styles. 

But never before has the workplace had up to five generations working together—due to people working longer before retiring—making employee communications much more complex.

Why? Because each generation tends to interpret communication differently and this can lead to misunderstanding, disagreement, and even conflict. 

So it’s imperative that communicators are aware of the communication nuances, preferences, and styles of the different generations in their workplace and tailor their comms accordingly.

This guide explores these differences and offers advice to workplace communications professionals on how to navigate the preferences and pitfalls of multi-generational comms.

From Boomers to Zoomers: How to Bridge the Generation Gap in Workplace Communications 

Employee Comms

President, Inner Strength Communication Inc.

Priya Bates

It’s been a roller coaster three years for workplace communication professionals, as comms proved to be business critical at a time of great uncertainty and rapid change.

We know that. And we know how much that change has transformed the comms function itself, not only elevating its role but also its wider reach across the business, with greater differentiation between organizational and operational communications.

we know about employee comms in 2022 after the whirlwind of the past few years?

Communicators are busier than they’ve ever been but how are their comms landing with employees? Are perceptions meeting reality, or is there a disconnect? What’s working and what’s not—and most importantly, how do employees feel and what do they want from their workplace comms?

To get answers to these and many more questions, we commissioned independent research to survey over 5,000 employees and Internal Communications professionals earlier this year.

Some of the answers surprised us—and we think they will surprise you as well.

Join us on this webinar where you can be among the first to get exclusive first sight of our research findings and hear expert analysis from award-winning employee communications strategist Priya Bates, to help increase your impact as a communicator.
