Social workplace tools are changing the way people work. They break down organizational and geographical silos, bringing us closer to our corporate colleagues – and the knowledge they possess. However, unlike our Facebook friends, where we know who to ask for a restaurant recommendation versus who to go to for movie picks, workplace social means encountering a lot of people you don’t know. And a lot of people who don’t know you. To remedy this, the Yammer blog today shares tips on creating a winning Yammer profile.
By building out a professional profile on your Yammer account, you help others find what and who they’re looking for more quickly. For example, which profile would you find more valuable: “Tom from marketing” or “Tom, who has experience deploying international marketing systems”?
Creating your profile not only highlights your areas of expertise, it encourages colleagues to “follow” you, which builds your professional network. To get your Yammer profile underway, take a look at these tips on the Yammer Blog.
