Three words to improve your bottom line and increase employee engagement: effective internal communications.

Calculating the cost of employee turnover is exhausting. So is constantly trying to figure out “employee productivity” and how to improve it.

You’ve likely heard the stats: employee productivity increases by up to 25% when your workforce feels connected. Likewise, highly engaged employees bring in 21% more profit than those who are less engaged. The stats go on and on. So, how do companies help employees feel connected? Answer: Internal communications.

We get it, internal employee communication gets a bad rep– it’s boring, corporate-speak and inconsistent. That’s where Westcomm comes in.
