Online media and change management
Having worked in Change Management in the past and with my focus on social/online media / technology for the past 6 years, I can see how change management is changing (excuse the pun!). Enjoy these thoughts - drop me a comment should you have something to add - I'm interested :)
Negative effects of using social media in the workplace
Social media can harm workplace productivity and employees' mental health in several ways: it reduces the time workers spend on tasks, leading to lower productivity; excessive social media use is linked to increased anxiety and depression; and employees' social media activities may reflect poorly on their company, affecting its brand. Employers should be aware of social media's risks and address each issue to minimize negative impacts in the workplace.
Social media in the work place
Social media can reduce workplace productivity by consuming time that could otherwise be spent working. It can also harm mental health by increasing anxiety, depression, and negatively impacting mood. Employees who are heavily dependent on social media for validation may experience psychological distress. Additionally, mistakes made by employees on social media could reflect poorly on their employer's brand.

It outlines 8 different types of advocacy blogs, from mobilizing for events to investigative reporting to fundraising. It emphasizes the importance of choosing the right blog type to fit objectives and providing tangible actions.
