SWOOP Chat Sydney - cross-generational collaboration
We had a rich day of learning, collaborating and sharing our collective experiences at SWOOP Chat Sydney. The goal of SWOOP Chat is to bring together the experts – the community managers and those who use Yammer, Workplace, Teams and SWOOP to drive business performance, employee engagement, conversation and collaboration – along with researchers and thought leaders to openly discuss how we can help each other improve.
Thank you to all who joined us on the day and to our fabulous presenters who shared their experiences. Read more about our day of learning.
Our next SWOOP Chat will be held in Chicago, Illinois on Thursday, November 14 from 1-4pm. Stay tuned for event registration.

ESNs promote employee engagement & enhance performance
In a world first, we have academic proof that Yammer and Workplace promote employee engagement.
Ground-breaking new research from Griffith University, announced at SWOOP Chat, found Enterprise Social Networks increase employee engagement, especially if leaders are engaged. Read the findings or watch Dr Elliroma Gardiner explain more.

SWOOP + Azure
In another strengthening of our relationship with Microsoft, all SWOOP data is now stored at data centres managed by Microsoft. The data will be held strictly private and secure. Given SWOOP is an official Microsoft partner, we couldn’t think of anyone better as our cloud provider.

SWOOP in the Workplace App Store
It’s easier than ever to check out SWOOP for Workplace. Head to the Workplace app directory, find SWOOP under "Analytics", install and we'll help you become better and faster at collaborating.
