Why the focus on Communication?
Studies show that communication skills of GenZ youth are deteriorating thanks to the introduction of texting, emojis and visual mediums. They are facing real and current challenges as they work to interact with older generations who have different and more comprehensive communication styles.
Research company Ideas In General found in their recent study “Gen Z’s attention spans are getting shorter as well, explaining their preference for video and images rather than text. They are the ultimate consumers of snack media. They communicate in bite sizes. Punchy headlines or razor sharp text resonate much better than lengthy chunks of words or long-winded passages.”
Even the at of speaking face to face with another person can strike fear into the hearts of a GenZ girl, preferring instant message over in person conversations. However this skill alone is critical for success in future life, not only in the workplace but outside through personal relationships, negotiations and travels.
