Using Microsoft Yammer

51 - Within our public school district, Microsoft Yammer serves as a vital communication platform, fostering a connected and collaborative environment across various departments and school sites. We primarily utilize it for district communications directly with students and their families when phone communication is not an option.

Yammer groups are instrumental for specific teams and initiatives. For instance, curriculum development teams use it to share resources, discuss best practices, and collaboratively build learning materials. School principals might have their own groups to communicate directly with their staff, sharing school-specific news and facilitate discussions.
50 - Supporting a Microsoft Yammer environment effectively requires a combination of technical, communication, and community management skills, often distributed across several roles within an organization. Technical proficiency, configuration and settings management, troubleshooting, understanding integration with other enterprise applications. Subject matter experts utilize Yammer to effectively communicate process changes, community updates and focused updates for individual students and families.
  • Community announcements
  • Interoffice communications
  • Individual family communications
  • Rapid response and communication triage
  • Intra-office discussion platform
  • Informal professional development and resource sharing
  • Virtual suggestion box
  • Peer recognition and success sharing platform
  • Bringing staff together for informal or brief updates
Our organization has greatly benefited from utilizing Yammer since my tenure began in 2021. It has been my default method for reaching out to other staff especially when I am working remotely. The ease and simplicity of the platform makes it easy for all levels of technological knowledge and is a reliable source for communications.
