Employees at any organization forever express this desire to connect to others. There exists this curiosity to know more about the people they work with. This sort of networking must be encouraged within organizations as this leads to employees feeling part of something bigger than merely their basic work. This collaboration also sets off business innovations rather than organizations where knowledge gets trapped within silos. Companies must thus provide rosters or directories where employee information with names, pictures and job titles will be put up. At Starbucks for example, even during talent recruitment, the focus is made on doing something much larger than serving coffee. The coffee chain encourages its employees to socialize beyond work either through organic means or their supported community activities.
