Social Media has emerged as a powerful business and HR tool. This discipline deals with selecting appropriate Social Media sites and formats from the myriad options available and leveraging the same to create value for the organization. This requires an in-depth understanding of the key benefits and pitfalls of Social Media and managing these effectively in the organization’s context.
One thing I find important is the “Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).” Rutgers also has their own version of this society (RUSHRM), and if you aren’t currently a member, I suggest joining!
If SHRM states that social media is important for HR, then it’s clear that the integration is now well-known. Within this link are links to other recent articles regarding social media and HR. SHRM even wrote out that “social media has emerged as a powerful business and HR tool.” If this isn’t a clear indication for everyone, I don’t know what is!
Social media is the now, and will be the future. Don’t underestimate it, and use it to its fullest potential!
