Communication in a Multi-generational Working Environment with Brad Herda and Stephen Doyle
In this episode, Ted and Barb welcome Steve Doyle, CEO at Professional Business Coaching, inc., and Brad Herda, a President/CEO of Vision Forward LLC. Both Steve and Brad are fellow podcasters co-hosting a show Blue Collar BS, where they debunk the myth of “we can’t find good people”.
They talk about differences in communication between different generations in the workspace. According to Steve, there are currently four different generations in the workforce, and each of those generations prefer a different style of communication. There are Boomers, Gen X, Millennials (Gen Y) and Gen Z. The Boomers are the closest to the retirement, while Gen Z are entering the workforce at the moment. When it comes to communication, Boomers prefer face-to-face or telephone communication. On the other side of spectrum we have Gen Z who solve all their problems through text messages and various online communication platforms.
Listen to the episode and find out how to set up better communication in your working environment if there are multiple generations involved.
