Back in the day, and by day I’m referring to PI (pre-Internet), the social employee was someone who knew how to network, to dialogue and to get things done without the aid of online systems or tools.

These days, with the advent of collaboration platforms, remote work styles and the quest to define an external digital DNA at sites like LinkedIn (hey, you’re here already) BranchOut (you can try it, but come back here afterward) or Quora (yes, it’s still kicking) the social employee has taken on a diversified definition. And if he or she hasn’t, well, the word anachronisticcomes to mind.
The default action of “social employees” can no longer simply be to network in a physical way.

The social employees of today and tomorrow must take into consideration their abilities to actually be “social” when physical means may be dwindling.
