Social Networking

Social Networking has quickly become an essential part of everyday life. As such, the corporate world is coming to terms with the widespread demand for Social in the workplace. "Social" encompasses so much more than social media (Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram) and networking (LinkedIn, Facebook). The basis of Social is communication and sharing. That is why Enterprise Social, also commonly referred to as Enterprise Collaboration, is now considered a necessity for business success.As employees recognize the benefits of increased collaboration, they adopt free Enterprise Social software such as Yammer. This helps creates the employee network that can transform a workplace to a socially active community. Corporations are then encouraged the embrace Enterprise Social and all that is has to offer. Enterprise Social Community creation is easy: there are a wide variety of tools/platforms in the marketplace that can address collaboration weaknesses within any company. However, finding the right tool can be more difficult. Then actually evolving the individual communities into a consortium of socially collaborative communities often proves even more complicated. True benefits of these platforms can only be derived when these communities are guided with key interlinks and interactions, providing a rich source of connected intelligent relationships.

Every function, organization and department within the corporation can take advantage of these community networks. For example:

• · The process of selling is now tapping into the social networks outside to connect, listen, engage and innovate through collaboration technology. This operating model has dramatically changed the landscape for Sales and Marketing teams, re-thinking ways to promote the level of customer engagement and intimacy.
• Engineering and product development teams can collaborate and network with their customers and partners through these internal and external community networks in order to promote product innovation.
• Human Resources are better able to coordinate global employee benefits actions, onboard new employees and deliver rich organizational development learning. The degree of communication within HR and between all other departments has greatly impacted the “human” aspect of the workplace.

The Globalization of people, products and services has given rise to the need for a collaborative workforce which can transform the employee landscape into a connected community to successfully perform their tasks and share ideas. The internet and the connected technologies have created a paradigm shift, enabling the power of people to collaborate across the globe and help companies respond to the changing needs of the Employees, Organizations, Customers and Partners. Enterprise Collaboration establishes a Social Medium within the company’s corporate network by connecting people both locally and globally across the company.
