Effective communication is a critical foundation necessary for achieving success. We set out to illustrate how communication impacts each company and drives both direct and indirect costs.

We teamed up with reputable analyst firm The Harris Poll to survey 251 business leaders and 1,001 knowledge workers in the U.S. According to our research, knowledge workers spend approximately 20 hours a week on written communication—that’s half of a 40-hour workweek. More importantly, business leaders estimate their teams lose an average of 7.47 hours per week to poor communication. How does this translate into a cost for businesses? And which is more costly—time or the value of business lost?
