Workforce communication leads to higher productivity and faster workflows in supply chain industries if done correctly. Proper communication leads to a more unified workforce with smoother workflows, but inconsistent communication leads to unnecessary costs and drained expenses. Studies estimate that poor communication costs businesses with less than 100 employees an average of $420,000 per year. Additionally, more surveys show 86% of workforce respondents blame poor communication as the main reason for company failures.
Without proper communication, businesses could suffer from incomplete visibility that leads to long delays, inefficient deliveries, and worker safety concerns. Delays and hazardous working conditions lead to more accidents, decreased accuracy, and diminished customer satisfaction. If your business is suffering from one of the following challenges, it could risk safety and productivity:
- Struggle to contact workers
- Incomplete task management visibility
- Uneven distribution of information
Without a unified digital workplace that fosters collaboration and increases engagement, information gaps could continue to grow and front-line morale can decline. Unified communication and proper assessment lets information flow freely and collaboration happen naturally.
