The Problem that Exists in Internal Communications
The vast majority of employees are not sitting behind
their desks
As a result, workers are not engaged and are emotionally
disconnected form their workplace
Struggle to communicate consistently and simultaneously with a
workforce that is everywhere
Poor internal communications leads to disengagement
NOT ENGAGED

ENGAGED” OR “ACTIVELY
DISENGAGED”
IN 2012,

$450 billion to $550
billion per year
