Hannah Cho - SVP, Communications

"Few people are able to operate at the level that Melanie does. She is extremely thoughtful and thorough while operating at a pace that stays ahead of business needs. She is a strong partner to our executives, and reset the team over and over again through multiple team, org, and strategic company shifts. Her magical power and innate ability to absorb information and understand the issue to construct the communications strategy around it, while leading and motivating a team to perform at their best is incredible."

Employee Communications
Why It Matters

According to Gallup's 2025 State of the Global Workplace report, low employee engagement in 2024 cost the global economy an estimated $438 billion in lost productivity. Gallup found 21% of employees are engaged, which is down 2% from 2024. On top of that, 62% are not engaged, and 17% are actively disengaged.

 

Communicating with employees using a variety of channels helps improve employee engagement by building trust, boosting morale, enhancing collaboration, promoting innovation, and reducing uncertainty. Manager and leadership communication is an important part of the mix too! Gallup found 70% of team engagement is attributable to managers.
