Because of the speed of today’s workplace environment, and the ongoing push to “multitask,” we often create unwanted communication barriers - especially between different personality styles. Too often our need to be productive gets in the way of our communication, and in the way of that productivity itself.

Sometimes, communication isn’t just about what’s said. It’s often non-verbal communication that speaks volumes about who we are and the quality of work we put in. While workplaces have become more flexible, sometimes that flexibility creates too much comfort.

Direct communication is not just a tool for building effective relationships; it’s also a tool for productivity. When our communication is vague, our work efforts often suffer. Assumptions and lack of clarity can lead to project setbacks, while offering strategies for enhancing communication ensures that all team members are aligned with project goals.

Communication is essential when it comes to the workplace. So, addressing miscommunication quickly and respectfully is key to maintaining our workplace relationships. When we have generational differences, it’s easy to have misunderstandings and miscommunication… because we won’t all communicate in the same way. To be inclusive, we must be willing to listen to others and their perspectives and make adjustments with the intention of staying connected… especially as we cross generations.

Technology at work is a key factor in a lot of situations and even generational misunderstandings. Many in today’s workforce grew up with technology. For them, information has always been a click, tap or voice command away. Differences in usage, acceptance and proficiency of technology can sometimes hinder communication and collaboration between generations, impacting teamwork and even innovation within the organization.

Let’s face it, treating people differently in employment, based on things like age, can be unlawful. Bias based on age is a reality – and can be subtle or blatant. Ageism in the workplace has to do with people being discounted because of their age. This happens when someone is seen as too young or too old to tackle a specific task or requirement.

Each of our different experiences and expectations are why learning to communicate across generations is so important. The reality is that each generation comes with its own rules for the workplace.

Today’s inclusive and respectful workplace culture means that the ability to practice your religion and religious traditions is up to you. Being respectful of that means not bringing religions into conversations inappropriately and not disrespecting colleagues based on their religious practices or religious dress.

Having a diverse workplace is very important. But until we are inclusive – meaning that we truly include and respect others, we are wasting an opportunity to leverage the power of that diversity. We can make assumptions, and stereotypes, about people based on their age, like younger people will be much better at embracing and using technology when compared to those that are older. But it’s important to remember that assumptions like this can have a real-life impact on our work teams.
