“We wanted to be proactive in improving communications globally. PrimeSource
Communication was brought in to do a full assessment of our corporate communications. The
report we received was excellent – thorough, accurate, and highly informative – and
it revealed a number of things that helped to focus our direction
and goals.
The communications plan was right on target and the results have
been noticeable. We've had a significant improvement in our
communication throughout the company. When surveyed again recently,
nearly 100% of our employees stated that communication has improved
since the communications plan was put in place. We measured
a significant increase in effectiveness, even after a short period
of time. We are impressed with the changes, and believe that
they will be critical to the success of our other initiatives.”
