Yammer Overview

Yammer can be used in the Subscribe-HR Self-Service Environment to enable organisation based, collaboration and communication. Yammer offers two types of Subscription, Freemium and a Paid Version. The Freemium version is functional enough to be able to add value in the Subscribe-HR Self-Service Environment. Subscribe-HR does not receive any commission if you subscribe to the Yammer, paid service. Click on the following links to find out more about Yammer:
