Communication

This is the development for the communication between the employees and their companies. In the past they used to deal with Faxes, and travel abroad for outreaching however today social media, especially blogs, make it easy to keep on following from your place regardless the geographic location.

Twitter, and blogs are good for keeping in touch.

I agree that Twitter and Blogs are good, but I think Friend Feed is a good alternative to Twitter sibnce friend feed does not limit someone to 140 characters and FF is easier to upload pictures to.

Forums is a great way for communication because your can make different sections for different topics, and it also is easy to use.

Great article! Sodexo's

Great article! Sodexo's Talent Acquisition Team has been using social networking sites to not only communicate with past, present and future employees we have also been using these tools to improve our candidate experience and strengthen our employment brand. We are a world wide company and have connected with our colleagues around the world through Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and YouTube. We've also made it easy for people to connect with us through a "Network with Us" page on our careers site (http://bit.ly/sodexo)

This was insightful. I never thought about this.

I think it is brilliant. I think rather than trying to ban employees from using facebook and what not because it wastes time embracing the medium by using it as a tool to engage and motivate them is genius.

People will use these mediums no matter what. We might as well try to make it productive and build our relationship with our employees and colleagues through these social media sites.

Personally, this is a very effective means of communication between an employer and his employees. Employees will get updated information about something in relation to their company's operation.

Communication is the key,

Communication is the key, and to go a step further, effective communication. I've seen and even been a part of work places that social media was ineffectively and inappropriately used. I've noticed that across the entirety of a company, many of them don't understand how to effectively use it. With that, it's important to educate and have best practices and get everyone involved, whether for just communicating with one another or promoting brand awareness.
