Digital signage in a modern workplace

Can digital signage improve communication in the modern workplace? Can it make employees more engaged? Can it improve customer experience?
Can digital signage make your office smarter?

There is no doubt that in a current busy, mobile world with information overload a lot of important communication simply gets lost. Traditional notice boards, company bulletins, even email aren’t as effective as they used to be just a couple of years ago.

However, there is digital signage! Digital signage done right with screens placed strategically can be an incredibly powerful, high visibility communication channel.

Why Digital Signage Works in Offices

So why is it so powerful?

  • Because it’s interactive, it’s dynamic, it draws attention. With digital signage, it’s so much easier to get the message across to your staff. Whether that’s a company health plan, a reminder about planned maintenance, health & safety information, a company event or business performance metrics.
  • It’s instant. Your message will get to your audience right away. With the right software in one single click or a press of a button, you can display an important announcement in real-time on all your screens and in any office location.
  • Digital signage drives engagement and collaboration and this way creates a better company culture. For example, you can use digital signage in break-out areas by displaying entertaining videos, motivating, inspirational quotes or promoting various employee’s initiatives. In receptions and lobbies you can display data-driven content like real-time travel updates, news feeds, weather forecast, you can even use social media to show the latest, company tweets to keep your employees engaged.

  • Sustainable and Energy Efficient

    Digital signage saves time and it’s

    sustainable: of course, it’s digital so no need to print anything but also the latest, professional smart displays with System on Chip (SoC) are extremely energy efficient. And the right combination of hardware and software allows you to remotely control displays brightness and even schedule their sleep time to save energy.
What content works best in offices?

Common use cases include corporate communications, news feeds, welcome messages, and employee updates. Signage Rocket’s app ecosystem covers these and more — use the News, Weather, Google Slides, and Message Board apps to get started quickly.

How do employees update content?

Through the Signage Rocket dashboard or via integrated data sources (Google Slides, RSS feeds, social media). No technical skills needed.

What is the best screen size for office digital signage?

For reception areas and lobbies, 43-55 inch displays work well. For meeting rooms, 32-43 inches is ideal. For large open-plan offices, consider video walls or 65+ inch displays for maximum visibility.

Can employees update digital signage content themselves?

Yes, Signage Rocket’s cloud platform allows authorised users to update content from any device with a web browser. No technical skills required — just log in, make changes, and they appear on screens in real-time.

How does digital signage replace traditional notice boards?

Traditional notice boards and company bulletins get overlooked in busy workplaces. Digital signage screens placed strategically in high-traffic areas like receptions, lobbies, and breakout rooms are dynamic and attention-grabbing, so important messages actually reach your staff.

Can I display real-time company announcements?

Yes. With Signage Rocket you can publish an important announcement to all your screens across every office location in a single click. The message appears in real-time — no waiting, no delays.

What are the energy savings of SoC digital signage displays?

Professional SoC displays are designed to be energy efficient. Combined with Signage Rocket’s remote sleep scheduling, you can automatically turn displays off outside working hours, reducing energy consumption without any manual intervention.

Can digital signage show live social media feeds?

Yes. You can display your company’s latest tweets, social media updates, and other live feeds on screens in breakout areas and receptions to keep employees informed and engaged.

How does digital signage improve employee engagement?

Digital signage drives engagement and collaboration by sharing entertaining videos, motivational content, employee initiatives, and real-time company updates in communal spaces. It creates a more connected company culture compared to email or static notice boards.

Can I schedule different content for different times of day?

Yes. Signage Rocket lets you schedule content playlists so screens show different messages at different times — for example, a welcome message in the morning, meeting room schedules during the day, and social content in the afternoon.

What is corporate digital signage?

Corporate digital signage uses screens in offices, meeting rooms, lobbies, and common areas to display internal communications, KPIs, meeting room schedules, company news, and welcome messages. Unlike public-facing signage, corporate signage is focused on employee engagement and operational efficiency. Signage Rocket’s app library includes purpose-built apps for dashboards, calendars, and internal messaging.

How much does office digital signage cost?

The cost depends on three things: the displays, the player, and the software subscription. With SoC displays you eliminate the separate player cost. Signage Rocket subscriptions start from £8 per screen per month with no setup fees. A typical office setup with 5 screens costs under £200/month including the software — less than a single printed poster campaign.

Can I display Microsoft Teams or Slack notifications on digital signage?

Yes. You can use Signage Rocket’s custom HTML5 app feature to build integrations with Microsoft Teams, Slack, or any service with a web API or webhook. Display team messages, channel updates, or status boards on screens in common areas to keep everyone informed.
