Inside The Social Workplace

7 comments

I love social media and I love my 5-inch heels. And I’m passionate about how they both figuratively and literally allow for a higher-level perspective on engagement and communication. So, back in 2009, I created The Social Workplace — before “social workplace” became a buzzword and born from my own passion for bridging business “need” with employee “want.”

An effective social workplace seeks the judicious use and implementation of social technologies to  strengthen company culture, enhance existing infrastructure, enable interactive communication and support business transformation to drive efficiency, increase engagement, enable collaboration, manage knowledge, and foster innovation within the workplace  — all of the essential components for allowing employees to learn, plan and do their work and personal lives.

As a result, The Social Workplace has since become one of the leading resources for research, best practices and insights on social intranets, performance management, reward and recognitionemployee engagement, social business, social media policy, social authenticity and strengthening culture through social technologies.
