Internal Affairs: Social Media at the Office

It’s still early days for this type of networking, though. A study by Prescient Digital Media and the International Association of Business Communicators found that 39% of 1,400 companies polled didn’t offer employees any social-media tools — not even instant messaging or discussion forums. Of those providing some social-media tools, only 43% offered intranet social networking.

“There’s no reason why our consumer appetite for efficiency, collaboration and engagement can’t apply internally,” said Pete Blackshaw, global head of digital marketing and social media at Swiss packaged-goods giant Nestle.

The biggest question is whether staffers have the appetite to add yet another network to their daily social-media diet. Companies that tout the benefits of internal social networks — from agencies such as Olson and Possible to marketers ranging from burger chain Red Robin to global giant Nestle — increasingly think of them not as add-ons but as supplanting older methods of communication like phone calls and email.

While many firms buy solutions off the shelf, such as Yammer and Salesforce’s Chatter, some are building custom platforms or at least large pieces of them.
