Sift Media’s analyst and research arm, K2 Advisory, has unveiled a significant new survey in order to understand the role that HR plays in shaping the use of social networking tools in today’s workplace.
The world of work is changing at a very rapid pace and many of the drivers of this change are technology-based: a growing numbers of staff are used to employing Facebook, Twitter, smartphones and the like in their personal lives – tools that are typically way ahead of any used in the workplace. This is putting pressure on organisations to use social media to operate in a more collaborative way.
We know from our work with IT Directors and CIOs that these types of tools are employed most successfully in organisations where the HR department is fully involved in their roll-out and usage. So we want to know how involved you are with the adoption of this kind of technology in your organisation?
Click on the link to undertake the survey, which is nice and quick to do. And everyone who completes it will receive an overview of the findings.

Social Media
Social media has had a profound effect on the business world, not only within the HR arena. With mobile internet accounting for 10% of global usage as little as a month ago it has never been more important to look to the new generation of connectivity. With the highest initial floating of a company in history Facebook is a major player and here to stay. We have a variety of uses of social media at my company, but it would be interesting to see how others implement them.
