Workplaces today are more theoretically connected than ever before - just think of the tech stack you use for work. It’s probably comprised of an overwhelming suite of messaging apps, collaborative whiteboard tools, project management boards, CRMs, video conferencing tools, business intelligence visualizations... is this sounding familiar?

According to a study by identity management firm Okta, the average company is using up to 129 apps. 129 APPS. Yet, data from Gallup suggests that despite - or perhaps because of - all these tools, only 34% of employees report that they feel engaged at work. That’s a big problem for a host of reasons, not least of which is that companies with engaged employees outperform those without by 202%.

While these figures probably won’t surprise anyone, the reality is that organizations find themselves in the tough position where they can’t afford not to solve the problem of employee disengagement but also don’t know where to put their resources towards solving it.

The Link Between Communication & Engagement

The Gallup report, though concerning in its revelations, also suggests an important takeaway: employee engagement is primarily related to a sense of ownership and contribution to the company, with strategic company-wide communication as a core pillar.

“Organizations have more success with engagement and improve business performance when they treat employees as stakeholders of their own future and the company's future.”

What does that look like in practice? Giving employees the information they need to succeed in their work.

In order to bring about that highly sought-after culture of engagement, leaders must be asking themselves how the technology they adopt can be used to inspire and motivate their workforce, rather than burden them. This is where Fugo sees a key opportunity for screens.

The rising tide of emails, messages, and video meetings is leading to a growing level of employee burnout and job dissatisfaction: 56% of employees feel email overload, and only 46% say they will open & read an internal email.

It’s even worse for deskless workers, who, lacking a company email or device, may be left out of the internal comms equation entirely - resorting to unofficial channels like Whatsapp for their work communication.

Enter TV screens, which exist all around us but often lay blank or devoid of any meaningful content, yet they represent an incredible opportunity to get key messages seen - without adding to the tool fatigue.

Screens are great at ambiently amplifying content and can be conveniently deployed wherever they’re needed - from busy sales centers and office spaces to warehouse back offices and shipping floors.

There’s so much untapped potential in digital signage screens for getting internal comms right. But it doesn’t stop there. Beyond amplifying a few key pieces of content, screens can even be put to use toward solving some of your more complex business challenges - but to get there requires some strategic thinking around a few things:
​
