The difference between corporate and personal social networks
In the private sphere
We're all familiar with the success of social networks in our private lives: Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter... These communication channels have crept into the heart of our daily lives. Immersed in our daily lives, they shape our news through publications, inform us and make us players in our networks.
In the workplace
The professional sphere also stands to gain. The collaborative intranet was already a way for companies to address their employees. Gradually enhanced by functions such as instant messaging and media sharing, with EDM (Electronic Document Management), the collaborative intranet has evolved. The corporate social network - CSN - has emerged as a means of increasing interactivity and simultaneity.
The corporate social network: a space for exchange
Breaking down barriers
On a professional level, the corporate social network intensifies exchanges and, consequently, team productivity. We often regret the low level of internal communication within companies and between departments. The enterprise social network is the cross-functional tool that breaks down silos.
To make things run more smoothly
Of course, there's e-mail, and collective e-mail: sent to a mailing list. Content can be exchanged. We reply to each other. However, their framework is neither structured nor conducive. And yet, to move forward together day after day, employees need an adapted, collaborative, fluid and user-friendly tool, with a simplified implementation process. In particular, it's the ideal tool for optimizing project management.
For information
On a corporate social network, everyone can :
- find the information they need,
- address a select group of people,
- consult the minutes of the last meeting, or the shared agenda,
- share intelligence to illustrate an approach or develop a research project...
- develop corporate knowledge,
- enhance skills...
The notion of collaborative work is therefore paramount.
To involve
Beyond its practical and operational aspects, the corporate social network has an image and visibility dimension. And in a professional context, it is a powerful vector of commitment on the management side. One of the major challenges for human resources, whether on a global scale or in small teams, is to mobilize people. Everyone works, gives of their time and energy, even when on the move. Of course, managers can congratulate and reward. However, the integrated collaborative effect remains important. On a social network, you are the author of your own posts and comments... Others see your contributions and know who to credit for them. This collective showcase enhances your actions and can have a very positive impact in terms of recognition.
To animate
A company is a group of people mobilized around a project. To create commitment, the company needs to awaken a sense of belonging. This can be achieved through a form of informal culture, through human relationships, habits and customs. Events and celebrations can reinforce it. Employees are a community to be animated, and the corporate social network is, in this sense, the ideal tool for internal communication in the age of digital transformation.
To expand
In some cases, it may be worthwhile to open up a section of the application to the outside world. Because if it's so easy to communicate with colleagues, why not with suppliers? Your customers? That's what Jamespot offers: a collaborative platform with a customizable scope, tailored to your company's needs and digital strategy.
