About Unite Connections
Teamwork leads to success. Every day, United Nations staff worldwide collaborate -- in the office, on mission, and across geographic and organizational boundaries -- to understand and resolve the pressing issues the world faces. Evolving technologies allow a modern, connected workforce to set agreed visions and reach common goals. Communities of experts form, interact and share knowledge to find the very best solutions together.
What is Connections?
Unite Connections is a knowledge-sharing platform. It enables seamless collaboration across geographic boundaries, offices and organizations. Knowledge hubs, or groups, within Connections provide a global space where people work on common causes. Professional profiles, blogs, wikis, and forums allow people to access the best and most immediate expertise. Connections also integrates existing tools and applications, such as email, document management, and Microsoft Office. Whether sharing documents, building contacts, or following relevant topics, Connections supports cooperation and meets your day-to-day needs.
