Why are you giving your employees a choice in the matter of something so important? Set up an XMPP server, tell them that's what is used for internal communication. Period.
And if they're too lazy/dumb/entitled to download Adium/Pidgin and enter their email address+password; well, you should probably find better employees.

Your job as IT is to deliver business value. It's certainly possible that people not communicating is better for the business than people communicating over a hackable service, but it's not the conclusion most people have come to.
