in a sentence Understand  very well the strategy of your  company, put in place HR practices  which will ensure your company strategy is achieved
ok, so far, all clear.. then?
how can social media help us?
a snapshot of social media today

a snapshot of social media today Networking,  professional/private  Photo , Podcast,  Audio, Video Microblogging, mobile blogging , l ifestreaming  Blogging, RSS feed Social bookmarking, social content, reputation management
now let’s go back  to our  HR functions wheel
how to use the social media to leverage these HR functions to support our strategy ?
which areas of  the wheel can be maximized  thru social media?
come to an exploration dive with me…
what is one common point of HR people in this room? Talent we are all looking for…
talent > How’s your brand?  And how about your candidate pool? In Turkey, the unemployment is high, a lot of candidates: But, is this the workforce you run after?  Do you need specific skills or experience?  Do you need stars?
talent > Good news:  Now reaching the talent is a lot easier. You need to be there! But >>> Bad news:  Talent is scarce.
but what are those numbers? 25,428 29,448 52,691 101,717 84,519 223,749 31,938 134,463 50,622 340,592 247,182 258,510
why do these people follow these companies? is there a better way to be informed instantly about a company?
social media is a great source to enrich your candidate pool candidates with more suitable specs reach  better profiles get in touch with passive candidates open new channels to have a more active networking a stronger candidate network candidates specifically targeting your company  benefit from referrals stay in touch with your existing employees and ex-employees  to optimize the power of your own employees ask them to extend your search to their own network
> increase your online presence!
we are all trying to increase… retention a second common point of us?
retention > Let’s be clear: I don’t want my good employees to leave! > I keep my talent and corporate know-how > I have a committed bunch of people, thus better results > I do less recruitment, thus save energy and costs
retention > At the end,  everyone wants to work for  a GOOD company!
Social media is  one of the fastest ways  to build an employer brand!
For those inside and for those outside! A good  employer brand  works both ways:
but you are not alone! create your employer brand  in social media
 
have you heard about “side wiki”?
 
nothing is a secret and it takes less than a minute to reach the information
watch this out!
meaning: better work “together” to build  an employer brand in social media
Encourag e your employees to be in the social media : Not only with their personal identities but also with their professional identities. // : trust Let them be the ambassadors of your company This will increase their engagement, their responsibility and their willingness to reflect a better company image .
Define the rules of the game  // : communicate Help them use the social media cleverly and efficiently Show them ways to create employee communities
Added bonus:  You will feel the pulse of your company instantly
what else?
// : training and development  share as much as you can online > this is the fastest way to share information Use social bookmarking tools to collect links of sites and articles that are relevant to your hiring practices, share these Develop micro-training programs Get people blogging internally about their learning experiences Start a YouTube channel and allow your employees to post videos of their experience Deliver  orientations via Facebook using the Udutu Teach Facebook application Source: Jennifer McClure > 51 ways to use social media
Create a feedback culture thru social media Create an open 360 degree feedback tool that allows the employees in the company to rate and provide feedback on others Watch the blogs to follow the discussions: this can be a source for ideas and a way of detecting talents // : performance management be transparent and increase the number of voices in your performance appraisal systems Source: Jennifer McClure > 51 ways to use social media
of HR strategy with  the company’s overall strategy Consistency finally, a point worth to consider!
Your HR voice should echo your company’s voice in social media
people act as a  “community” of citizens of professionals of employees of women … ..
this community… Creates  profiles, join s  groups, writ es  blogs Shares feedback and experience, influences each other’s decisions  Discusses opinions, provides presentations, tools and know-how ACTS!
