Sometimes they will just transfer to a different department or another location. Sometimes they will leave the organization all together.

How well are you communicating your most important company information to employees? The answer has as much to do with the medium as with the message. And most of the time, that message isn’t being received. The problem of disconnected communication channels at work isn’t a new one.
