By 2020, millennials will make up half the global workforce. As they penetrate the corporate world, they will no doubt bring along their preferred communication methods to build a collaborative culture.
Being raised in an era of ever-evolving personal technology evolution will intrinsically herald the infiltration of those same technology preferences and uses into the working environment. One prime example is using video collaboration technology. Millennials have been using various forms of video chat since they were young, whether through Skype, FaceTime or even gaming. However, this new method of work communication and collaboration may be too big a shift for Baby Boomers and Generation X, who are more used to emailing and picking up the telephone to speak to colleagues and clients.
