Yesterday, I moderated a webinar hosted by Perspectives Ltd called “Social Media ABCs (Awareness, Boundaries and Considerations) For HR” – and the information shared by our panelists was great.

The idea was to help HR experts, managers and business leaders understand social media and its implications in the workplace. After all, the marketing opportunities presented by social media are well publicized, but what about the employee relations factor?
Panelists Marian Casey, Corporate Social Network Strategist and E-learning Consultant, Dianna Wiggins, Social Knowledge Manager, YMCA of the USA, and Sonya Rosenberg, Law Associate, Neal Gerber Eisenberg’s Labor & Employment Practice Group, answered several questions being posed by our customers today, including:
- What is social media (Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc.) and how are people using it?
- Do organizations need to provide some guidance or ground rules (policies)?
- What are the legal implications of all this?
Some of my favorite take-aways included guidance and recommendations on:
- Benefits to organizations
- Organizational concerns
- A framework for creating a social networking strategy
- Relevant data from research firms like Gartner and Forrester Research
- Anecdotes from books and resources that really help illustrate how social media is changing our world – and work
- Legal advice, anecdotes and laws that HR pros really need to know about
We had so much great information that we ran out of time for questions and wanted to give people an opportunity to continue to ask them here. We’ll continue to tap our panelists for their thoughts on your questions.
Also, I wanted to thank our panelists again for sharing their expertise. I encourage anyone interested in these issues to watch the archived recording of the webinar.
As a thank you to everyone that watches the FREE webinar or comments here, we’ll follow up by sending a copy of the presentation and bonus materials shared by Sonya – a sample policy guide and an article titled, “Employees Do Use Social Networking Sites at work: Dealing with the Reality.”
Enjoy!
