Joan Workplace Digital Signage: A Solution for Clear Employee Messaging
The all-hands meeting just wrapped up. Fifteen minutes later, team lead Marcus witnesses the information evaporation in real-time:
“Wait, when is that deadline again?” “Are we prioritizing acquisition or retention?” “Something about a new policy…?”
Two weeks of planning. Three days of slide preparation. Forty-five minutes of presenting. Eight minutes of actual retention.
Welcome to the corporate communication black hole, where critical information dies—not for lack of importance, but lack of stickiness. Your employees don’t need more information. They need the right information, delivered intelligently and unavoidably. This is what workplace digital (WDS) signage delivers.
The employee messaging challenge in modern workplaces
Truth be told standard workplace messaging systems are collapsing under information surplus
Email—preferred by 86% of professionals—has become a victim of its own success. With office workers receiving 121 emails daily and sending 40 (that’s 10 million annually for a 1,000-employee company!), critical announcements get buried alongside routine messages.
Digital signage cuts through this noise by placing information where employees naturally gather. Unlike emails competing for attention in overflowing inboxes, digital signage creates strategic information touchpoints throughout your office. Whether it’s company news, team achievements, or important alerts, your communications are seen, not just sent.

One message system for every screen you own
Different messages have different requirements, and workplace digital signage shines through its ability to work with virtually any display technology in your building. No need to invest in all-new hardware.
Here are key use cases and our display recommendations:
1. Company-wide announcements and news
Modern workplace digital signage solutions offer templates specifically designed for company announcements, making it easy to share updates company-wide. These systems ensure your messaging maintains consistent branding while delivering dynamic content that catches attention.
2. Team-specific updates and departmental information
Deliver targeted information to specific teams by deploying content to displays in designated areas. A centralized system maintains consistency across all communications while enabling department-specific content to be shown exactly where it’s most relevant to those teams.
3. Recognition and achievements
Boost morale by highlighting employee achievements and milestones. Ready-to-use templates make employee spotlights easy to implement.
4. Performance metrics and KPIs
Keep teams informed and motivated with real-time performance data. Effective WDS platforms handle automatic updates to ensure information stays current.
5. Emergency alerts and critical notification
When urgent information needs to reach everyone, comprehensive digital signage solutions can override regular content to display critical alerts instantly.
How Joan’s workplace digital signage makes employee messaging surprisingly simple
At the heart of effective workplace digital signage is a powerful content management system (CMS). Joan’s workplace digital signage is built with CMS that stands out by making employee messaging remarkably simple, even for non-technical users. Here’s how:
1. Content creation without technical skills
The system’s “set-and-forget” approach means you can create a message once and let the system handle the rest. With customizable templates designed specifically for workplace communications, you don’t need design skills to create professional, on-brand messaging. Simply select a template, add your content, and the system ensures it looks polished on any display.
2. Smart control with targeted access
What truly sets Joan’s WDS apart is its centralized management with granular permissions. This means HR can manage recognition posts, the executive team can handle company announcements, and individual departments can update their specific information – all through the same system, without stepping on each other’s toes.
3. Unified brand experience across all touchpoints
The system acts as your organization’s visual pulse, reinforcing company identity and cohesiveness at every turn. Think of Joan’s WDS as your culture amplifier, turning mundane Monday announcements into memorable moments that matter. Your brand voice travels intact from busy lobby screens to quiet corner displays, speaking with one clear, recognizable voice. No matter where your employees wander, your message maintains its integrity, personality, and purpose—creating cohesive experiences instead of fragmented communication.
Joan’s WDS in action
Step 1: Creating your message. In the dashboard, users select from pre-designed templates for employee communications.
Step 2: Customizing for your brand. The system allows for easy customization to match company branding. Add your logo, adjust colors, and incorporate your visual identity to ensure consistency across all communications.
Step 3: Scheduling and targeting. Once your message is ready, you can schedule when it appears and on which displays. Target by department, location, or screen type to ensure relevant messaging reaches the right audience.
Step 4: The result in action. Your carefully crafted message now appears on your selected displays, delivering information directly to employees where they can’t miss it.
