World events and technological innovations have shaped the communication styles and work-related characteristics and expectations of generations in the modern workplace. Communication styles and work-related characteristics and expectations are immensely different between generations in today’s workforce.


Innate barriers exist in the workplace due to differences in communication styles and work-related characteristics and expectations that can be a flashpoint for conflict, misunderstanding, collaborative issues, lack of trust, and issues in expansion of workforce capacity.


Awareness of these differences and utilizing proper technique or tools when working between generations can improve workplace interactions, productivity, and workforce capacity.
