Are You A Digital Workplace Manager?
Hello all,
Quick Question! Who among you, in the Igloo Community, is actually a Digital Workplace Manager either by title or by role?
I am in the midst of publishing the 3 part Thought Leadership Series on what makes a great Digital Workplace Manager.
My goal is to raise the profile of the role, as it's so important to the success of every Digital Workplace.
Now, you may not have the title of Digital Workplace Manager, and the work may be divided amongst a team of individuals at your organization, but if you're doing the functions described in Part One: The Importance of the Digital Workplace Manager, I want to hear from you.
Goal: Igloo would like to create a special Group for Digital Workplace Managers in the Igloo Community for unique relevant messages and campaigns to continue supporting one another with this important work.
Action: Please comment below, indicating that this is a role you perform and I'll be sure to add you to the group.
Igloo on...

Diana, this is me! The words "digital workplace manager" are not in my title, but it is very much in my role!
Hi Diana May! Although it is not in my title, I am a Digital workplace manager as well.
Great! Thanks for posting Jocelyn Flint and August Robinson!
Same, not in my title but I am a Digital Workplace Manager, too!
Thanks Chelsey Louzeiro!
My official work title is "Technical and Marketing Writer" but I was the one who pushed to have this digital workplace, so now I am the project lead on it and that adds to my job role as Digital Workplace Manager. I would love to get involved with any groups to help with this process. I have only just (a month ago) rolled out the first version of the site to my colleagues..but we have a long way to go as we are super small
Amanda Wood , how small is small? We're small, too (just over 100 people) and I've realized that managing a digital workplace when you know every single user personally is a very different ball game! Happy to link up some time...
Jocelyn Flint Hello. Well in the Swedish office we are around 40 people, with 5 others in the USA and a few outliers. It is great knowing the people, and having the insight to best serve everyone, but boy it is a struggle to find the time and resources...we have a Digital Workplace Team but even then it is a stretch to get people to take on the tasks I need to get stuff done..hoping as they use it more that their enthusiasm will increase at the same rate
Amanda Wood and Jocelyn Flint you make great points about the challenge of performing the Digital Workplace management function with a small team and resources.
I do believe this is a common problem and it deserves a forum discussion of its own. I'll @mention you both. I am sure many will participate! There is so much we can learn from one another and this is the perfect place to have the conversation.
Not even remotely my title, but I do take on the role of Digital Workplace Manager as well.
Thanks Laura Warwin - I'll make sure you're included in the DWM group!
I am our Intranet Manager.
Thanks Kara Zook !
