BREAKS AT WORK:
employees should be encouraged to step away from their work stations and
spend some time out of the office. If they like going on social media, breaks,
enable them to stay connected on their profiles during the workday without
the same social media hindering their attention to a task.
Breaks should be
dedicated times employees can look forward to, without having
to sneak glances at their newsfeeds in the middle of a project. Such
multitasking hurts productivity and reduces concentration. But, when employees
know they will have time allocated for leisure, they will be less prone to
check their phone.
FINDING SOLUTIONS:
social media can easily be used to find solutions to work problems or seek
advice on how to do certain things. Employees can use social media to research
certain questions or specific topics from a large audience. Mini research and
advice relating to work can be seek cheaply on social media.
NETWORK EXPANSION:
social network is also a good platform to expand business and company network.
Social media can help connect professionals with colleagues in the same industries.
Employees can share
posts, comment on other people’s posts, send direct messages to
colleagues and even attend webinars for leading industry insights.
Professional organizations provide a lot of great content that can benefit
employees on all levels.
IDENTIFICATION AND
RECRUITMENT OF TALENTS: social media has been identified as the most effective
recruitment brand for new talents. The various platforms provide unique
features that are perfect for spreading brand awareness and attracting top
talent.
BUILDING TEAMS: In its
simplest fashion, social media connects co workers on a personal level. They
can communicate with one other after hours and create a strong friendship.
Social media can also be used as a support system, enabling employees to send
positive messages to someone.
Additionally, social
media can be helpful in developing the employer-employee relationship.
Companies can use these public forums to recognize and celebrate an employee’s
performance and achievements, which is just as effective as making
announcements at meetings.
In other words, as much
as many companies complain about distractions from social media, brilliant
companies can choose to infuse social media into their work in such a way that
the employees and employer end up benefiting from it.
