On August 22, 2011, Forrester’s TJ Keitt pointed out…
“…some key differences between Enterprise 2.0 users and the rest of the workforce:
- They’re your highest paid employees. Over half of this group earns more than $60k a year, compared to just 36% of non-users.
- They’re the most educated members of the workforce. Sixty-five percent of this group has completed at least a 4 year college degree compared to 55% of the rest of the workforce.
- They’re the leaders in your office. It’s not surprising to see 49% of this group are managers are executives given management’s enthusiasm about social technologies. Just 31% of non-users are in similar positions.
