The 6-Hour Communication Tax Crushing Your Workforce

Our data reveals the uncomfortable truth: white collar workers receive approximately 6 hours of communications daily. Senior managers? A staggering 8+ hours. Every. Single. Day.

Think about that. In an 8-hour workday, your team could spend their entire productive time just consuming messages. For your leadership, the math is even more troubling - they're receiving more communications than there are hours in the workday.

The financial impact is staggering. For one international client, we identified $100 million in annual wasted costs from this excess alone. When you multiply these lost hours by employee salaries and diminished productivity, you're looking at an invisible tax on your bottom line.

Here's what's fascinating: while organisations believe they're helping employees by keeping them informed, our Traffyk analysis shows these well-intended communications are actually creating the problem. The more messages sent, the more noise generated, and the more critical updates get lost.

The good news? By mapping these invisible communication threads, we can identify duplication, bottlenecks, and areas for immediate improvement. Our proprietary Noise score doesn't just quantify the problem – it reveals the path to fixing it.
