ROI on internal communication?

330,000 employees 3 telecons a week each 5 minutes dead time at the start of each call. That’s 330000 x 15 minutes = 4950000 minutes of dead time PER WEEK! You can check the maths its an average but we could be losing 9.4 years a week into dead telephone beeping time.
