Microsoft Yammer

I use Microsoft Yammer as part of a non-profit technical consortium that our organization is a member of. It is used to collaborate between various working groups for users in many different similar organizations. Users can post questions in a variety of groups organized by topic, track responses, and get alerts to topics or threads of interest.

We are using as a social media page for internal teammates. to help express themselves. Something similar like FB but only within the company. Helps build relationships and rapport within the company, from CEO to the front-line teammate, we can communicate.

We use Yammer throughout the entire company. It's used to 'spread the word' about various happenings in different departments and help us stay connected despite being in different locations.

Our organization uses Yammer to broadcast team updates, news, and content over traditional email blasting. Occasionally, Yammer is often used for company announcements over posts on SharePoint and email.

We use Microsoft Yammer as an informal social network in which we share all those news and industry developments that are "kind of relevant" but not super important and/or urgent. There is also a fun component in it. Microsoft Yammer is used across the entire organization but there is an insular component in a sense that different teams have their own channels and create rooms for their own communication needs

We use Yammer across the whole organization. It's a great tool used by a variety of teams, departments and niche interest groups to share information and build company culture. One of the great problems it solves for us is knowledge retention and sharing across the globe. If someone reads a great article or watches an impactful webinar, they are able to share it for all to see. When working on specific teams, Yammer is a great way to communicate with team members and collaborate on project work or overall team objectives.

Yammer is used at organization level. We use this tool to socialize, collaborate, celebrate, share personal/company event with people in other offices. It's widely accepted and used within our organization that it almost feels like a Facebook page for Elekta. I always start my day with reading the Yammer page as people across company share lots of content around the globe.

We use Yammer as a localized social network for outside of work activities: volunteering, buying/selling home items, hobbies, etc.

Microsoft Yammer is a good platform, however I find it difficult to navigate through all of the areas in it. Creating some channels are easy, but keeping information pinned to the top of your thread can be a challenge. We currently use Microsoft Yammer to communicate ideas and threads for our apparel company.

Yes, we in Nokia use Yammer as a centralized tool for discussions. Since it also provides the cloud storage, you can access from laptop/Mobile while you are traveling and be connected to all the staff you are in the loop with. GREAT tool and innovation from Microsoft.

Yammer is used for the whole organisation as our enterprise social tool. It is used for collaboration among the teams, cross BUs, internal communication & collaboration with partners in external networks.

Microsoft Yammer is being used by a small startup company that I freelance for as a way for all of us to engage and communicate with an easy to follow user interface system that drastically reduces communication errors.

In our organization, we use it mainly for project sharing and all project updates are shared on Yammer. Other members in the organization are also allowed to make comments, share ideas regarding that particular project or have access to the project they are following. It is like a real time social media site of the project where everything is updated at a fast pace. Yammer is like a social media platform but for working purposes.

We using Yammer as a corporate version of internal social media. Employees are able to share articles of interest, celebrations, industry information and our various departments are able to share information relevant to their goal and accomplishments.

Whole business used Microsoft Yammer to address the most effective way to manage communications in the business and to also act as a central data access point.

Sonoco's Yammer network is a great way to connect with fellow associates, exchange ideas and stay updated on current news and events taking place throughout Sonoco's global network.

Microsoft Yammer is implemented across our entire company, and is used as a communication tool between our on-the-go sales agents and staff. Our agents are able to quickly update staff on upcoming listings and purchases through Yammer, share photos of interesting properties from broker tours and open homes. Our staff uses Yammer to make announcements and share weekly digests of sell and purchase status updates.

My company uses it departmentally. We have found that using our email (Lotus Notes, unfortunately) has caused more problems due to file size, connecting with all the correct individuals, and overall the recipients likelihood of allowing the email to get lost among the many other day to day company emails received throughout the day. Yammer has allowed departments to share information instantly, and in an organized way.

Yammer is being used throughout our entire company.

Yammer gives us the ability to break down communication silos throughout our organizations and allow everyone to have a 'voice' whether you are in upper management or on the production floor. Yammer also gives us the ability to collaborate anytime, anywhere through their easy to use mobile apps.

Yammer was used across the entire organization as a bridge gapping tool. In a global company, it's hard to share ideas and successes and Yammer allowed employees to share on a larger scale, which in turn encouraged transparency and support.

Yammer allows staff within our organisations to connect and communicate with one another, it encourages conversations that work to solve problems, and promotes collaboration and innovation within the organisation.

We currently use Yammer as the main platform for internal communication and collaboration in one country. The most common ways to use Yammer are to share information and ask for input from colleagues. Yammer has erased both geographical and departmental silos within some business units. However, not all business units has adopted Yammer yet, and there are still work to be done to break down the silos between business units.

Besides collaboration in, for example product development, we use Yammer to find sales leads, creating marketing material, e.g. social media content, and newsletters and to some extent also share best practices. Yammer enables us to collaborate better and faster, makes us more productive, unlocks more business opportunities, drives innovation and make employees more engaged and feel more involved and part of the company's longterm journey.

We aim to start unlocking more business value by starting the Social Journey, which is Yammer's way of working to convert vision and strategy to tactical Use Cases that focuses on solving or improving the company "pains". We have not appointed a Community Manager so far, but as Customer Success Manager (CSM), I am promoting that we do.

Yammer is a great way to change the way management communicate internally; from sending out long monthly corporate newsletters to more frequent bits of information that is both more personal and focusing more on creating a dialogue with the employees. However, to get both top and middle management to write themselves, be personal, to post more often, to be brief, and to participate in dialogues, are proven to be more difficult than I have anticipated. Management understands the value that Yammer can create, and they are committed to use it. However, they need to really understand that they lead the employees by setting the example (walk the talk), and thus must face their own fear of making themselves visible to other people via a digital medium that is not email. As CSM I see that the most important Use Case to focus on, will be to get inspire and teach management how to use Yammer the wight way. The second most important Use Case will be to focus on Yammer Champions, the evangelist in the organization that can help us nudge the laggards to adopt Yammer. When these Use Cases have reached enough effect, we can start looking at other Use Cases, such as driving innovation, breaking down silos between business units, making more people involved in our social media marketing work etc.

Parallel HR used Yammer in two primary ways. First, it was used as a platform for maintaining and promoting an open and collaborative culture via fostering discussion and sharing relevant news. Second, we used it as an information management platform, storing and collaborating on documents about our clients. We would store "client procedure documents" that our recruiters would use to get up to speed quickly on the individual recruiting/interviewing processes used by our clients.

We use Yammer for team collaboration and document sharing. Being an international company spread over 4 regions, communication in different time zones is always a challenge. Yammer helps us making teams be in contact, collaborate on writing and reviewing documents, inform team members about news and project progress. We use groups a lot, both public and private. Groups are typically project-based or product-based. Some groups live for the duration of the project and then are archived. Other product oriented groups are open all the time as the product develops. Very useful functionality is the possibility to notify people in other groups of changes to a project or product that may impact others.
