Teach For America Turns to ViewDo Labs to Drive Adoption of Yammer and Measure Collaboration

WOBURN, Mass., Feb. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- ViewDo Labs®, a pioneer in enterprise social network analytics and governance, today announced that Teach For America is utilizing ViewPoint Enterprise to enhance its internal communications and create an interactive environment to match the spirit and mission of the organization. Teach For America is a national corp that recruits, trains and supports thousands of recent college graduates and mid-career professionals who have chosen to teach for two years in some of the highest-need districts in the United States.

Internal communication is not only a priority for Teach For America, but also an operational imperative with the majority of the staff working remotely at two national offices and 48 regional locations. The non-profit deployed Yammer nearly three years ago to connect its distributed workforce in an effort to move collaboration-oriented conversations out of email and into private and public group forums.

"We knew consistency was important but until ViewPoint Enterprise, we had no easy way to share best practices for driving adoption. Group leaders can be a little scared about tracking success, and now I can show them exactly who is consistently performing, and who's not," explains Aaron French, Director of Internal Communications. "These new measurement capabilities create confidence for high-performing communicators and motivation for those that are lagging behind." 

Teach For America leverages ViewPoint Enterprise to gain insight through the analytics dashboard into how their employees are collaborating and which employees in the organization are driving collaboration as "key influencers." ViewPoint Enterprise allows the non-profit's communication team to monitor key words in conversations on Yammer in order to track communication initiatives momentum.

"Knowing that the foundation of Teach For America's success is a well-fostered, deep spirit of community, we are proud ViewPoint Enterprise has fostered collaboration within the organization and has contributed to its growth story," said Claudine Bianchi, Chief Marketing Officer of ViewDo Labs. "As internal Yammer engagement continues to improve amongst employees, we look forward to helping Teach For America drive effective collaboration to meet growth needs."
