A 2017 white paper from digital workplace provider WorkJam based on a survey of 250 store, district and regional leaders across the U.S., found both technology and execution issues plaguing internal communications:
- Forty-six percent of managers indicated the primary way their head offices inform hourly staff about new store processes, products and promotions is by communicating these details to managers only;
- Twenty-six percent indicated their companies convey such corporate information through flyers posted in communal store areas;
- Only 11 percent of managers indicated their retail employers offered digital access to frontline associates;
- Only four percent said their stores use a corporate-sanctioned app to facilitate internal communications;
- Fifty-five percent of managers said that the head office rarely or never recognizes employees from their store for doing good work.
