People have very strong feelings about the definition of “community” in a social business context. And this week in the World of Work, we’ll dig even deeper into the differences and similarities among talent communities, social communities, and other communities supported by digital channels…
I never get tired of talking about social communities and their impact on brands and the recruiting process for the right talent. But what does it mean to “manage” communities – and what is the role of a “community manager” in today’s social business environment?
This week in the TalentCulture community, we’re going to examine employee engagement— the lack of it, the skills needed for it, the mindful state required to understand the very notion of it. It’s controversial, but it begs our attention…

Today’s workforce is multi-generational – but unlike 10 or even 20 years ago, age is not the primary determinant of management status. What does this generational mix mean for workplace culture – and how effective are new development models, such as reverse mentoring?
