Internal comms is broadly valued and widely considered effective by practitioners and leaders. But it’s also hitting the same structural barriers it has been for years, limiting how much the function can scale. The organizations breaking through this ceiling share a set of operating conditions, and Simpplr’s latest research makes it clear what those conditions are and how unevenly distributed they remain.

Ever given a thought to this, that your team is working all day, but still you don’t know where the time goes? This is a very common challenge faced by architecture and engineering firms. Work happens across designs, meetings, site visits, and revisions In fact, only 58.5% of projects in architecture and engineering firms are completed on or ahead of schedule, highlighting clear gaps in planning and time tracking. But tracking for all of these is not easy.

You are dealing with the hardest part of delivery, and it is not even close. The last mile is where everything gets tested. Up until this point, things usually follow a system. Packages move through warehouses, trucks follow set routes, and most of it runs on routine, but once it reaches that final stretch, everything changes. That is why communication becomes such a big deal at this stage and you need to solve problems in real time. Drivers need updates quickly.

Most call center managers are promoted because they were excellent agents — not because they were trained to lead. That mismatch is costly. Agent turnover in contact centers ranges from 30% to 45% annually. Poor management is one of the top drivers of this issue. The skills that help you resolve a customer complaint are not the same ones that help you run a contact center.

HR teams spend a huge chunk of their day-to-day time on mediocre and repetitive tasks. The irony is that this also forces employees to lose productivity hours while searching for the right answer to their routine queries. This aligns perfectly with what Deloitte’s Global Human Capital Trends 2025 survey reported. According to it, 41% of HR teams’ time is spent on work that doesn’t contribute to the value their organizations create.
