Social Performance Improvement

After my last post on using Badges for employee incentives, I started to think about how or if social media was being used for performance improvement. Performance Improvement is a strong interest of mine. My research for my dissertation will be on performance improvement, so reading how social media is influencing or being used is interesting to me.

Turns out there are some Web 2.0 platforms to assist businesses in employee performance improvement.  I found a few web articles on social technologies used for performance improvement. In many cases the social technology improved productivity performance. In other cases, the use of social technologies provided quick and timely feedback for employees.

I am excited to know there are social tools available and look forward to learning more about the research on the use of social media for performance improvement.
