SUMMARY:LOL or BRB? Decoding Millennial and Gen Z Workplace Communication
DESCRIPTION:Effective communication is the foundation of a thriving workplace. It fosters collaboration\, nurtures innovation\, and ensures that each team member feels valued and heard. Without trust\, even the best communication strategies fall short. \nWhen individuals feel respected and supported\, they are more likely to engage in honest dialogue\, express concerns\, provide constructive feedback\, and take the necessary risks for innovation. This not only enhances team dynamics\, but also boosts employee engagement\, morale\, and organizational performance. \nResearch on trust underscores its critical role in business success. When trust is present among team members and leadership\, individuals are more willing to share ideas\, voice concerns\, acknowledge mistakes\, and seek help without fear of negative consequences. This in turn strengthens honest and effective communication\, creating a workplace culture where contributions are valued and respected. \nJoin the Making the Strong Community Stronger initiative as we embark on an exciting year where we explore the challenges and opportunities of communication in the workplace. \nPlease join us on Wednesday\, May 14 at 9-10 am PT/11 am-12 pm CT/12-1 pm ET for a webinar titled\, “LOL or BRB? Decoding Millennial and Gen Z Workplace Communication\,” where we start the dialog with Gen Z and Millennials to understand communications and trust from their perspective. \nDr. Gloria Chance\, PhD\, founder of The Mousai Group\, moderates the webinar. These Millennial and Gen Z panelists will join her: \n-Brennen Glover\, Manager\, Onboarding & Employee Development\, Rocket Software\, USA \n-Elizabeth Joseph\, global head\, Open Source Program Office for IBM Z and LinuxONE\, Open Mainframe Project \n-Lilly McPadden\, student at Marist University\, and co-op working in the z/OS Customer Test area\, IBM \n-Andy Wig\, senior editor\, TechChannel \nRegister now for this insightful webinar here. \nStay updated with all MSCS activities by joining our LinkedIn group here.

SUMMARY:(Webinar) Culture Speaks: How Internal Communication Shapes What We Believe and How We Behave
DESCRIPTION:This experiential session on Wednesday\, October 22 at 9-10 am PST explores how internal communication becomes the heartbeat of organizational culture. More than just words\, the way we lead\, listen\, and message—formally and informally—shapes what people believe is possible\, safe\, and true within an organization. But this won’t be your typical corporate communication workshop. In this session\, we listen with our whole selves. We’ll use music and expressive arts to tune into the rhythms of how we speak\, lead\, and listen. From soundscapes to storytelling\, participants will surface the unspoken energy of their organizational culture—and learn to shift it with intention. \nParticipants will engage in soundscapes\, storytelling\, and creative exercises that invite reflection on how trust\, intentional leadership and transparent communication (these were participants’ insights from the last panel) foster a culture of psychological safety and belonging. Come ready to listen deeply\, create boldly\, and leave with new strategies to communicate with purpose and intention. \nRegister for the webinar here. \nMaking Our Strong Community\, Stronger is a collaborative initiative sponsored by BMC\, Broadcom Mainframe Software\, IBM\, Open Mainframe Project\, Rocket Software and TechChannel. With a goal of accelerating diversity by sharing different voices\, perspectives and corporate cultures\, we hope to inspire meaningful conversations and most importantly\, approachable actions that elevate inclusivity with lasting impact.
