Social Media Use

How social media can be used to benefit the workplace relationships?

Co-workers can use social media to interact with one another and build better relationships. A stronger relationship among employees leads to more cohesive and productive work teams.

Social media is an easy way to encourage communication between employees and help to share ideas and increase engagement both while at work and at home.

Because social media is accessible almost anywhere, your staff is able to interact with one another even when not at work. The ability to interact outside of work will help boost employee morale and engagement. Your work teams, especially, could improve as they grow closer together.

Potential issues with mixing personal social media with workplace relationships?

Contrary to what most people believe in, adults are also known to become easily jealous of their peers, especially their colleagues, who get more social media attention. When compared to teenagers, employees who are jealous of their more successful colleagues can cause trouble in the workplace. Work relationships can suffer and eventually may lead to decreased team performances during projects and meetings.

Bullying and harassment in the workplace could also occur. An employee may send negative remarks or spread baseless rumours about another colleague. They may also get into embarrassing situations and post false information about their co-workers. As a result, these activities could hinder team cooperation and collaboration. 

Etiquette recommended for the appropriate use of social media and associating it with your workplace.

Employees should separate their personal and professional social media presence. Social media posts and “likes” can remain online forever. Employees should be mindful of the company’s reputation when posting on its behalf.

However, it’s not just the corporate account that should be watched. Employees should assume that clients and future employers will also read information on their personal accounts.

Native advertising, social media and influencer partnerships are a great way to get started with the distribution of that content. 2. How does the company get consumers to try its product? Coming up with a new product or service is a lot of work, which unfortunately does not stop once it’s ready launching and promoting it is the other half of the equation. You could be offering the best new product or service around, but if you don’t promote it properly, you’re likely to miss out on opportunities or even end up losing money down the line which can be avoided by effective marketing of the product.

Why the best hire might not have the best resume?

Why the best hire might not have the best resume? A resume tells a story. And over the years, I've learned something about people whose experiences read like a patchwork quilt, that makes me stop and fully consider them before tossing their resumes away. A series of odd jobs may indicate inconsistency, lack of focus, unpredictability. Or it may signal a committed struggle against obstacles. At the very least, they deserves an interview.  As you meet successful business people and read profiles of high-powered leaders, you notice some commonality. Many of them had experienced early hardships, anywhere from poverty, abandonment, death of a parent while young, to learning disabilities, alcoholism and violence. The conventional thinking has been that trauma leads to distress, and there's been a lot of focus on the resulting dysfunction. But during studies of dysfunction, data revealed an unexpected insight: that even the worst circumstances can result in growth and transformation.
