How Human Resources can help craft social businessGautam Ghosh
This document discusses how social media and technology can be leveraged internally by HR departments and organizations to improve employee engagement, collaboration, learning and knowledge sharing. Some of the key points made include:
1) Social tools on their own will not increase employee engagement, which is impacted more by factors like job fit, manager relationship, and organizational culture.
2) For social tools to be adopted, organizations need executive buy-in, leaders who model sharing behaviors, rewards for participation, clear goals around how tools link to work, and addressing existing disengagement issues.
3) HR can use social approaches to co-create policies, enhance recruitment, learning, communication, recognition, and knowledge sharing across the organization.

Grantmaking: Executive Summary of research report 2017/2018: Reflections and insights from Africa regarding the social investment and development sectors.
The document summarizes SNV's experience with introducing social audits as part of the Procurement Governance for Home-Grown School Feeding project in Ghana, Kenya, and Mali between 2013-2015.

Translating Social Insights-DAWSG August 2015Aman Sandhu
Social media is changing the marketing game. It represents a goldmine for marketers as consumers express themselves more, with greater depth and across a broader range of topics. By harnessing the power of social media insights – by the hundreds of millions of daily posts on global and regional social networks (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, etc.) as well as blogs, and forums – marketers can surface meaningful and fresh consumer insights.
Winning in a social world requires a far more intimate understanding of the consumer. By using social insights to inform our social strategy and execution, this will help us target our audience better and appear relevant to them.

St-Lawrence Alumni Association: A Social Media Marketing Plan

Current Analysis
The St-Lawrence Alumni is an association who try to inform, invest and involve the current and past graduates to give back to their college. In addition, the Alumni Association is in place to keep graduates connected to each other. They are connected to the foundation of the college because, the foundation is also concerned in raising money for the college.
To inform the alumni, the college has numerous ways including the voyager news letter which is printed once a year, they have a job bank for the graduates and they plan reunions to help graduates stay connected. They are always looking for new ways to raise funds for the various projects including the uncommon campaign which is currently in place. Currently they receive funds from annual givers, Major gifts, corporate sponsorships, wills and bequests and much more, all from people in the communities in which the colleges are located. In addition, the alumni association gets involved in the colleges and the communities. They accomplish this by planning events, advisory board, volunteer opportunities, steward ship programs, and more.
Each year, the Alumni Association, raises an average of 1.5 million in donation but every now and then there are long term campaigns. Currently there is a five-year campaign called the Uncommon Campaign which is aimed at raising 11 million within five years. Currently after only 14 months, they have raised nine million mostly from major sponsors and corporations. However, the issue of donating comes back to human nature in which they tend to donate to face to face interactions. This is hard when there is only seven members of the team.
In addition, there are 92,000 alumni that the college is aware of however only 60,000 are included in the database in which we know their name, phone number and address. The other 32,000 are “lost”. That becomes an issue, how to reach these lost alumni for donations. Other issues include, low return on equity for bursaries, how to attract alumni as they tend to stay within their small communities and how they will reach the goal for the Uncommon Campaign.
Therefore, the research below will mainly be focused on how to attract donors, retain alumni and inform alumni of their benefits.
ResearchHow to make a social media marketing plan:
According to Evan LePage’s blog, there are six steps to making a proper marketing plan on social media. The first step is to create SMART goals, objectives and mission statements.

SMART goals are a great idea because they are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely, this means they can be assessed to see if the campaign is going well.
The second step is to conduct a social media audit. To accomplish th ...

should the client change in order to see different results?
Recommended changes if goal is not met
Increase
employment
in members
by 25%
within five
months, by
using
LinkedIn.
After three months they will analyze the first SMART
activity. Then after five months The Arc of Shelby County
needs to analyze the rest of the SMART activities.
If members of The Arc of Shelby County are not hired by using this
social media platform, they will begin to use other online resources for
job searching such as gettinghired.com. This website specializes in
locating jobs that are specific to the skill set of special needs people.33
Increase
Facebook
“like” and
“retweet”
count by
30% in 3
months
After one month The Arc of Shelby County will analyze
their current increase of Facebook “likes” and Twitter
“retweets” to see if it is on track for a 30% increase in two
months.
Send a short, 3-5 question survey to social media followers asking for
feedback on how to improve on their social media sites.34

the markets. An example of a survey question, “How are we doing on
the content of posts?” the answers choices would be, excellent, fair,
needs improvement, and not helpful or entertaining.

YouTube
Presence by
20% in one
month
The Arc of Shelby County will analyze this in the
beginning of September and adjust if the desired results are
not showing.
Change the type of videos that are being posted. The videos could be
too long and need shortening to keep interest. Each video needs to be
different in content and some need to be able to pull on the emotional
heartstrings of people.
Increase
Instagram
follower
level by 20%
in 2 months.
On August 26th they will analyze the data to see if they are
on schedule to achieve the goal.
Promote the Instagram account on their other social media accounts.
This will guide the followers to their Instagram profile. Also, use
pictures that display exactly what The Arc of Shelby County do daily.

#TogtherWeAreARC
What The Arc of Shelby County is seeking to do through social media is to reach 3 key target
markets: Volunteers, Donors/Involved community members and Clients. The Arc of Shelby
County wants to show all of these target markets that they are working together to empower
individuals with disabilities. Posting this hashtag every time The Arc posts a photo on social
media reinforces this idea of community. The Arc of Shelby County should encourage each of
these target markets to use this hashtag on their personal social media when posting about the
services of ARC.
1. Use hashtag when posting Photos on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram
2. Promote the hashtag at each event and fund raiser as well as around The Arc of Shelby
County’s facilities
3. Have volunteers and donors use hashtag to share information or news about The Arc’s
events and services
Example of a Post:
“This is (insert Name). John is a longtime volunteer here at the ARC of Shelby County.
(He/She) works with first and second graders to teach them how to read and write. Through
(He/She)’s willingness to serve along with others like them and through our donors we are
able to see life changed! Click the link here to find out how you can get involved (link).
#TogtherWeAreARC”
Insert Photo of Volunteer.
This is an example of how The Arc of Shelby County can incorporate the ARC hashtag into a
Facebook post. In this post we have clearly explained the hashtag and posted it. This
encourages users who view the post to click on the hashtag to see others who have used the
hashtag as well as past posts ARC has made while using it. This also encourages the user who
views this post to use #TogtherWeAreARC if they decide to make a post mentioning the
services of ARC or to use if posting a photo of an ARC event.
