Yammer is an enterprise social collaboration tool – essentially like Facebook for businesses – that provides a portal where all employees can connect, message and work together. This gives employees a platform where they are allowed (or even encouraged) to be more publicly social, informal and inventive without the intrusion of emailing everyone.
Yammer is a place where an organization’s leadership can post updates, requests for feedback, announcements, and more in an open and transparent way. This makes it easier for employees to respond, provide suggestions, and ask questions using an interface that prioritizes previews of files like photos and documents.
