Can enterprise social networks solve the employee engagement problem?
You can download the PowerPoint file here: http://www.businessgoessocial.net/ee Employee engagement is a huge issue. Disengaged employees cost companies real money in low productivity, high turnover, sick leaves etc. The roots for disengagement go deep in the organisational culture - this means random engagement initiatives have very little effect. They don't permanently address the key drivers of human motivation: the need for autonomy, mastery and purpose (see Daniel Pink's book Drive for more information on this). While enterprise social networks can't obviously solve all of these, they do offer a surprisingly simple way for people to take ownership of their work and feel more autonomous when the email based communication hierarchy is replaced by a flat, network based communication infrastructure.
