Although this generation adopts new technology with ease, Gen Z has been criticized for having poor writing skills. Much of this has been attributed to their growing up in an age of shorthand via social media. Abbreviations, emoticons and lack of punctuation are advantageous on social media, but they may raise concerns in the workplace.
“It will be important for employers to coach Gen Zers about adapting their communication style to their audience and being able to recognize the need for formal communication styles in certain settings,” says Bev Graham, Ph.D., vice president, Enactus USA programs.
