Transforming the way you manage talent
Social media in the workplace
Social Media in the workplace creates better ways for organisations to communicate with employees and customers yet most are fearful of this web 2.0 world we now live in. But right now customers and employees are already commenting about your products and services on blogs and forums, social networks like Facebook, adding videos on YouTube and much more besides. But these social sites should no longer be considered an enemy of the corporation but part of a toolset that can help you define your future.
We demystify social media/web 2.0 to help organisations understand how the antics of employees on sites such as Facebook and YouTube can be an opportunity rather than just an embarrassment.
Where can social media help?
Putting 'social' into your corporate DNA to make the most of your people (Talent Management) also extends to people who are yet to join you through a better, social media driven hiring strategy. This way anyone who joins is also comfortable with such an open communication style. Which is where we come in; helping organisations work out where they can use social media as part of a business focused Talent Management strategy using ideas such as:
- Making your company career site conversational/social.
- Creating unique social networks to engage both employees and applicants.
- Building corporate blogs to engage applicants and improve the quality of new hires.
With too many years recruiting, e-recruitment and web 2.0 experience, and plenty of evidence, we think we are uniquely placed to advise employers on how social media and web 2.0 can be used to transform talent management.
Of course it is easy for us to say; so don't just listen to us, join our Talent Management Social Network and 'ask around'. You may just find out we do what we say; keeps it simple that way.
