Identity the HR practices and explain the benefits gained. en-us 2016-06-24 17:58:50 UTC 2019-07-10 13:05:05 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Alarmclock.png renxun98 https://padlet.com/huda_mohd/RqC1_4/wish/370707274 Social networking is a specific type of social media that enables users to connect with others and create a community. It's more about building relationships than simply announcing or posting and not engaging with others. Employers can both utilize an internal social networking site for their employees, and leverage public-facing social media platforms to market their brand and attract employees and customers. SHRM offers members their own social networking site, SHRM Connect, to engage and network with fellow SHRM members.

Advantages

• Aid in recruitment. Social media platforms can be used to publicize job openings, source candidates and verify background information.
• Market the employer brand. Sharing media about employee events and company values can help establish an employer brand to attract applicants and customers.
• Deliver internal communications. HR communications on policies, benefits, company news, social events, professional development and more can be made available to employees at any time.
• Engage employees. Internal social networking platforms can be more engaging and inspire greater participation than regular e-mail communications. Employees may feel they have more of a voice when their postings and comments are actively encouraged.
• Promote social learning and knowledge sharing. Providing employees with a way to connect with co-workers to solve problems promotes social learning and can increase knowledge sharing globally.
• Communicate during a disaster. Displaced employees can see emergency information from their devices to stay in touch with the employer and receive direction.
• Professional networking. HR professionals can network with peers, keep pace with competitors, and help attract clients whose values align with the employer brand.

If a company wishes to recruit potential employees, advertisements could be placed on websites such as Facebook and Twitter to reach an extensive amount of people. Also, during the selection process, those who are reviewing the resumes of applicants can use Facebook and Twitter to take a peak into the lives of potential employees. An applicant may have an excellent resume, but their personal social media account may reveal that they are an irresponsible party- animal, or may have even engaged in the act of slander involving the previous company he or she worked for.

Since engaged and happy employees are more likely to stay longer with a company, this can be a huge benefit for HR departments looking to create a positive working environment. Social features such as group chat, and video messaging are essential components to fostering a sense of community in the workplace.
