Modern workplaces are overwhelmed by communication. This inundation is more than inconvenient — it erodes engagement and trust. Without intervention, employees will continue to tune out essential information, making it harder for internal comms teams to help drive business outcomes.

In 1800, in a revolutionary move away from corporal punishment in the workplace, Robert Owen introduced the ‘Silent Monitor’, a wooden block with a different color on each of its four sides that indicated employee behavior on a scale from poor to excellent.

There are many lessons to learn from today’s business meltdowns and scandals. Regardless of what industry you’re in, we can all agree that: CEO drama can make or break a company.
