DEFINE THE DIGITAL WORKPLACE - WHY ADOPT A
DIGITAL WORKPLACE STRATEGY?
If the risks of inaction are not sufficient motivators, the benefits of adopting a digital workplace make a
compelling business case. Consider the gains in:
Talent attraction: 64% of employees would opt for a lower paying job if they could work away from the
office.
Employee productivity: organizations with strong online social networks are 7% more productive than those
without.
Employee satisfaction: organizations that installed social media tools internally found a median 20% increase
in employee satisfaction.
Employee retention: when employee engagement increases, there is a corresponding increase in employee
retention by up to 87%.
Communication tools: information workers prefer newer communication tools, particularly instant
messaging, over more traditional ones like e-mail or team workspaces.

connection between users so they can talk to each other
synchronously, in real time.

REASONS WHY COMPANIES
USE SOCIAL MEDIA
Check the readability index on word under Tools and grammar options to
check the length of your paragraphs, sentences, and words as well as the
percentage of passive voice used; as a rule of thumb, the lesser the better.
Learn how to post your content appropriately to different cultures and how
to use buzz words. For this, web writers should be proficient in using SEO
(search engine optimization).
The benefits of web writing skills are indisputable. The right content
creates loyal readers and customers who also become promoters of your
business, and word of mouth from loyal customers is the best marketing
strategy of all.
