Late last year, I had the opportunity to join a group of highly motivated and very smart people at the SOA Symposium in Rotterdam to formulate and release the SOA Manifesto, a document meant to spell out the core values and related principles that should be part of service orientation.
Understanding the power of well-thought-out and collaborative efforts to guide us through this complex age, it was very interesting to come across a work called the ‘Social Employee Manifesto,’ which outlines a set of core principles for working in the networked age.
Or as its author, Michael Fauscette (IDC), puts it, a “start” in this direction. It’s a very good start, because many companies simply don’t know how to handle the changes in workstyles and attitudes that are being fueled within social enterprises.
Here are some ways organizations should support the social employee, as Michael proposes:
- Managers are coaches and mentors, not “bosses”
- Empowerment to take on business problems without micromanaging but within established guidelines.
- Social web policies and training.
- Freedom to choose hardware such as mobile devices, laptops, etc. that fits their individual work style.
- Continuous access to the social Web.
- The freedom and ability to form ad hoc workgroups as needed to address business issues and problems.
And here are some of the ways social employees support the business:
- Distributed micro-problem solving. Every employee can solve a small problem everyday. Distributed problem solving eliminates
- most large business issues before they get “big”.
- Creativity
- Strong work ethic that can self manage to personal results and high levels of productivity
- Responsibility and accountability
- Strong personal brand
- Participates and is engaged with the business
- Effectively represents the corporate brand
Does this cover it? Does anyone else have ideas or principles for should go into a ‘Social Employee Manifesto’?

Nice Post! I think another point is that organizations need to give social media managers time to prove themselves. With regards to social media, ROI is difficult to translate into pure money figures and also takes time to develop.
