Organizations have embraced Web
2.0 technologies, leading to the emergence of ‘Enterprise 2.0’.
Workers at successful organizations are increasingly mobile,
social, and collaborative. Consequently, the field of social
computing is increasingly interested in introducing and studying
the tools, practices and methodologies that engender the
characteristics of such a workforce. As new social computing
technologies continue to be embraced and thereby impact the
manner in which work is accomplished in these organizations, it
is important to discuss their implications on workforce
management topics such as recruiting, retention, attrition,
training, assessment, employee engagement and productivity. This
workshop will provide a forum where designers, practitioners, as
well as social science and computer science researchers can: 1)
introduce new tools or methods that address workforce management
issues, 2) advance our understanding of workforce issues through
qualitative and quantitative empirical studies, and 3) discuss
the impact and opportunities recent trends such as social,
mobile, and crowdsourcing have on the workforce.
The goal of this workshop is to
bring together researchers and practitioners to explore,
discuss, and understand challenges and new opportunities that
arise from an emerging Social Workforce. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to the following:
- Social listening technologies
- Data privacy and protecting
employee information
- Novel applications and
technologies for workforce management
- Line of business workforce
challenges and solutions, e.g. sales enablement
- Voice of the employee
- Ethics of crowdsourcing
- Critical studies of workforce
related issues
- Cross cultural studies of the
workforce
- Workforce analytics (social
analytics, predictive analytics, social network analysis)
- Industry-specific (e.g.
pharmaceuticals, retail, food & beverages) workforce
solutions and case studies
- Novel social learning and
knowledge management approaches
- The role of HR in workforce
management and optimization
- Novel work(place) models
- Novel approaches for talent
management (recruiting, assessment, retention)
- Crowdfunding
