The Benefits of Social Media
• Reduces cost• Has a high “believability” factor• Promotes sharing through viral dialogue• Focuses employee “down time” away from other
distractions• Allows interaction regardless of role, location or
personality
Lessons Learned
• Make it fun to use• Enlist participants/seed dialogue• Encourage non-work-related conversations• Ensure closed-loop communications• Don’t avoid controversy – open conversation weakens
the grapevine• Integrate social media into existing communications• Set clear guidelines for proper use
