Here’s the problem your company is facing with communication.

Today’s need for relevant information in businesses is unprecedented. Most employees struggle to understand their industry and their company. It isn't due to lack of trying; employees don't have access to a tool that separates signal from noise.

Studies have shown that the average employee spends upwards of 9 hours a week searching for information. Half of that time is spent looking at the wrong content. That’s 25% of every single work week, wasted.

70% of your employees dislike getting important company updates via emails and difficult-to-use intranets.

Chances are, you are part of the 70%. Intranets and social enterprise networks have failed to deliver on their promise to bring context to our professional lives. They’ve become the problem and an expensive one at that.

93% of your employees think their co-workers and management are unaware of their knowledge. Notably, 69% of them would sooner leave your company and join another that engages them and recognizes them as experts. Is your company ready to gamble with the stakes that high? We don’t think you have to.

It’s time we looked past emails and intranets to engage our employees. Let's empower and equip our employees with important company information, on-the-go, with Flud.
