Member Impact

Communications ROI

Our members are business-led strategists who fully grasp the value of communicating, protecting reputations and building strong brands in a knowledge economy.

  • Miscommunication in the workplace costs U.S. businesses an estimated $1.2 trillion every year.1
  • Every conversation failure costs an organization an average of $7,500 and more than seven workdays.2
  • The starting cost of churn in the workplace can range from $4,700 for nonexecutives to $28,000 for executives.3 These only cover hard costs such as recruitment fees. Soft costs would include lost productivity from other employees taking on extra work temporarily during the search.
