As the enterprise grows across geographies, business units and functions, it must cut through cultural boundaries and break information silos by seamlessly sharing thoughts, perspectives and data. The need of the hour is to increase employee productivity and innovate continuously - and to do this, your business needs to keep employees motivated, inspired and engaged with the organization. Infosys SocialEdge Employee Engagement Platform improves workforce productivity and efficiency, deepens employee engagement, and enables faster innovation by connecting and engaging with employees.

Secure, open, configurable, and scalable, the Employee Engagement Platform adapts to your organization’s corporate identity. Your business can leverage the platform to enhance internal collaboration and optimize existing organizational assets. It provides a single and unified platform for employees to voice their opinions, generate new ideas, connect with colleagues, and participate in the organizational decision-making processes. These efforts engage the employee, increasing levels of satisfaction and knowledge retention. While the platform is available for use by all employees, it can also be extended to external business partners, alumni and customers, driving the creation of a truly networked enterprise.
SocialEdge Context Engine The SocialEdge Context Engine (patent pending) powers the Employee Engagement Platform by automatically providing suggestions and recommendations in six default dimensions. The Context Engine runs on the basis of more than 58 rules defined for every employee based on: I What the employee creates I What the employee reads I Where the employee participates I What are the employee’s skills / interests / groups These rules are executed in a defined time-frame of every 2 hours and are associated with weightings to compute credits. The summation of these credits is used to recommend content, people, communities, etc., to other users. The dimensions, rules, weightings and the frequency at which the rules are executed can be configured as per your business requirements.
