While the largest generation of workers is starting to retire, a new generation of employees—the millennials—are entering the work force. This new generation of employees is well versed in technology, spending a large amount of time using online social tools, and, although being seen as self-focused, are good at collaborating and working in teams. However, millennials have very different attitudes towards technology and loyalty towards the company. This well defined difference between generations has created a gap that has led to a talent crisis due to difficulties in sharing and transferring knowledge between the generations. Our goal was to create a social tool which enables companies to effectively attract and engage the next generation of workers by connecting people, places and resources within the enterprise to optimize the way work gets done and knowledge is shared.
