The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, April 8, 2015, from 7-8 pm ET (4-5 pm PT).
Last week we talked about the predictive power HR can bring, and this week we’re going to talk about the adoption of social software for workforce collaboration and communication.
With rare exception, it’s tough enough to get adoption traction with any new social network today, but it’s even harder to get it internally.
We’re talking about social software that enables workforce collaboration and communication. While social software has been deployed in many organizations, employees generally haven’t adopted it.
But when they do, the McKinsey Global Institute estimates productivity improves by 20-25% in organizations with connected employees, and the potential for revenue amounts to $1.3 trillion per year.
Given the focus on engagement and some other key internal communications trends, communicators will take a more active role in promoting the adoption of internal social media, which will require a strategic change management initiative to move away from email that still dominates the enterprise today.
This kind of organizational change means understanding how employee engagement impacts the ultimate adoption of social software.
