Abstract or project description

Whitney is interested in exploring how communication styles of certain workplaces are more or less effective for younger generations, and understand how younger generations can be prepared for workplace communication with older generations. To do so, she will conduct qualitative surveys across small businesses in her town — asking both their employees and the managers on their perspectives of their current communication platforms, styles, and relationships across generations.
