Yammer Partners With Klout to Highlight Employee Influence

Yammer, the social networking tool for businesses owned by Microsoft, announced a partnership on Tuesday with online influence measurement tool Klout that will integrate Klout scores onto Yammer profiles.

The partnership means Yammer users can publish public Klout scores onto their Yammer profiles. Yammer wrote in a blog post that this will showcase employees' influence in the office social sphere. Companies can also set up employees' profiles so they receive Yammer-specific Klout scores, which are determined by engagement with the company's Yammer network.
