Generational Differences:

  • Baby Boomers (born 1946-1964) tend to prefer face-to-face communication and value personal relationships. They may also prefer formal communication styles and may be less comfortable with technology.
  • Gen Xers (born 1965-1980) tend to value efficiency and prefer communication that is direct and to the point. They are also comfortable with technology and may prefer to communicate via email or text.
  • Millennials (born 1981-1996) tend to prefer communication that is quick, concise, and delivered through technology. They value transparency and authenticity and may prefer communication that is informal and interactive.
  • Gen Zers (born after 1996) tend to be comfortable with technology and prefer communication that is quick and delivered through social media or messaging apps. They value diversity and inclusivity and may prefer communication that is visually engaging.
