Internal communication pays
According to a recent study by Watson Wyatt Worldwide, companies that sport an effective internal communications program have a 19.5 percent higher market premium and a 57 percent higher shareholder return when compared to companies that had less effective communications.
Good internal communications also provide higher levels of employee engagement and retention. The study found that companies that communicate effectively report a 4.5 times higher level of employee engagement and were 20 percent more likely to report lower rates of turnover.
