  • It has fragmented our organizational engagement as it competes with other MS platforms
  • Some departments use it occasionally but it has contributed to overall "noise"
  • Departments that use it as their sole engagement platform does have a slight increase in engagement over the pandemic.

  • Yammer is a free tool, so no monetary cost to implement or continue using.
  • The company is kept up to date about relevant news which is a huge positive. Means teams have the latest information to make good decisions inline with company strategy and share news with customers.

  • Yammer helps direct more social conversations away from email - which can help organize workflow.
  • Searching for files is very efficient. The tool does a great job of helping one quickly searching metadata to make collaborating more efficient.
  • Yammer has helped make our large organization feel more like a family. Therefore, there are fewer communication limitations across the company, which helps increase productivity and the knowledge-base of who to turn to with questions.

  • The Microsoft Yammer application allowed us to significantly reduce the expenses allocated to the budget items of logistics, personnel mobilization and rental of premises, actions that have allowed the company to substantially improve its net income, and profits, being currently a more competitive company in the market. Now workers have greater benefits, a situation that motivates them to continue fulfilling and improving response times.
  • The optimization of communication processes has resulted in improvements in construction results, understanding that we have a greater capacity to correctly transmit instruction, avoid duplication of efforts and specify tasks as initially established.
  • The company has increased its performance and market value.
