HR and social media: Social Media Week

by Personnel Today 19 Apr 2010
by Personnel Today 19 Apr 2010





















 

The phrase ‘social media’ would previously had many in HR reaching for the employee handbook checking their organisation’s policy on internet use. But all that is changing.


Personnel Today’s Social Media Week – with exclusive content published below – is a recognition of the rapid change that is taking place in this area.

An increasing number of employers are using social media to gain a competitive advantage, moving away from compliance and restrictions on staff access, to capturing their own employees’ (and potential recruits’) enthusiasm for all things Web 2.0.


HR blogger Jon InghamJon Ingham’s
articles (right) are appearing on Personnel Today all this week. 

Social Media Week

Everday this week, HR blogger Jon Ingham will be writing about the benefits – both personally and professionally to HR professionals of getting involved in social media.
