“Yammer's Social Approach: A Hindrance for Work Communication”

3.0
Jan 15, 2025
Yammer is a great communication platform but it is not effective for work related communication as it is more of a social media tool. It creates a feeling of community, but there is no way natively to track progress on tasks, decisions made, or confirmation of their implementation.

Yammer Likes & Dislikes

Like

The ease of use of the tool and familiarity compared to non-work social media tools is a massive win. Being able to quickly create community groups is super helpful, and the ease of adding photos, PDFs, and having reactions and comments in a familiar style all help to gain user acceptance.

Like

Yammer is most effective in creating a friendly and relaxed feel to the entire company communication. It's like a break room where ideas can be floated in a post/work kind of way, toss out a quick question and check the general mood of the company.

Like

It's like a social network for work, but way more organized! You can join specific groups, follow conversations that matter to you, and keep everyone in the loop without clogging up your inbox.

Dislike

The frustration we face the most is being able to receive all critical updates through Yammer, and not have them lost in a sea of other helpful, but less important updates. Ideally, the tool would feature more broadcast style announcements that are mandatory for all colleagues or specific teams of people.

Dislike

Work may become lost in the threads and it is difficult to follow what is being carried out or decisions that are being made. This absence of project management features poses a problem when it comes to putting into effect important points that must be implemented.

Dislike

I don't dislike anything!
