SHRM Connect Feedback

We had another successful week on the SHRM discussion board with classmates and the HR professional, Mary Dillman. The majority of our conversation was about recruiting and the internal social media platforms that took place in the different organizations. LinkedIn has been a key topic in promoting and finding top talent candidates.  An internal social media platform allows employees to post a range of items from presentations or an idea for a new product and receive instant feedback from workers. Employees can even engage in wellness programs and share recipes which helps in employee engagement. Even though there were questions whether this outcome is not powerful as face to face to is certainly engaging and does work. If the employee can see that they can do their job more effectively and efficiently by using social media tools, it will be much easier getting employees involved. This avenue provides another outlet that can help employee receive immediate feedback and engage with co-workers even those not in the same building. The number one factor that employees can take from social media is the privacy is secure in the internal platforms. It is important for HR professionals to use the right tools and platforms to reach their intended audience (external and internal) and meet the business objectives of the company.
