With social media playing a larger role in a company's marketing mix, it is important that businesses are creating social media policies for their employees.
The research upon which this William Fry report is based was undertaken by Amárach Research.
Two separate surveys were conducted, one among employers and one among employees of organisations operating in Ireland and of a size of 50 employees or more. A range of questions relating to social media in the workplace were asked of both groups to allow for an employer and employee perspective to be captured. A total of 200 employers were surveyed via telephone interviews and 500 employees were interviewed online. All interviewing was conducted in February 2013.

Most Employees Consider Their Private And Work Lives To Be Totally Separate, But Social Media and Social Networking Has Silently And Effectively Bridged That Gap And Blurred That Distinction.
No matter how “separate” a person’s social accounts may seem to be, there will ultimately be someone, somewhere that will link-up that person to your organisation or firm.

Social media and the workplace Manners and your bottom line
In some social circles,if you aren't "tweeting,"
you're considered disconnected or entirely out of
touch. Certainly, it seems that social networks like
Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin and other Web 2.0
environments have eclipsed comer bars, coffee
houses and country clubs as the common gathering
places for some groups. Take, for example.
Generation Y. By 2010, Gen Y will outnumber
their Baby Boomer predecessors, and 96 percent of
them have joined a social network. What's more, if
Facebook were a country, it would be the world's
fourth largest nation, with 300 million "citizens."
But individuals aren't the only ones socializing
online. Companies are finding a voice within
social networks too. Just a short decade
ago companies were creating inviting Web
sites to allow their constituents to visit
them. Now, many courageous companies
are reaching outside their firewalls
and enlisting social media forums, like
Twitter and Facebook, to actively engage
and directly communicate with their
constituents. Others are generating original
content and encouraging discussion about
their products and services through blogs
and chat rooms on their Web sites. .
But despite the relatively widespread adoption
of social media among companies for purposes
of marketing and PR, many businesses are still
struggling with the " i f and "how to" of allowing
access to social media within the workplace. In
fact, one recent study reported that 54 percent of
companies prohibit any access to social media
networks on the job, and another 19 percent of
companies permit only limited access solely for
business purposes. Why?
Businesses and their management teams
have valid concerns about opening the door,
or firewalls as the case may be, to social media,
but proponents for employees' open access have
equally compelling arguments to counter those
concerns. For example, business leaders worry that
they'll see a decrease in productivity if employees
are allowed to access their Twitter or Facebook
accounts from their office, but others will argue that
access to social media networks actually promotes
productivity because workers can conduct more
thorough research and interact with coworkers and
customers more effectively. Proponents also point
out that workers who are able to tweet during work
hours are more likely to respond to work e-mails or
check voicemail during non-work hours.
Of course, many managers voice serious
concerns about the potential for employees to leak
confidential company information, spread negative
comments about the company or conduct illegal
online activity from the workplace. Certainly these
are real issues for company leaders to consider.
Given the prevalence of social media today,
however, it is beg.

Job Seekers: get the most out of the unlimited opportunities available through the proper use of social networks.
Recruiters: find out how to improve the quality of your professional social media practices.
Some background
The digital age is transforming the recruitment industry, allowing companies to reach targeted candidates and create new forms of employer branding, as well as helping candidates interact with their potential future employer. Recruitment is more dynamic than ever due to the uptake of social media, both for small businesses, as well as large corporations. For job seekers, social media is a valuable tool to find opportunities and advance careers.
The study
Recruiting is increasingly social and Adecco wants to know how it works. We conducted a survey between March 18 and June 2, 2014, collecting responses from 17,272 candidates and 1,501 recruiters from 24 countries. We want to understand how candidates search for jobs on social media, which tools they use, and how they present themselves online. We also interviewed the recruiters to discover how companies operate on social media, which tools they use, and what they look for in their recruiting process.
The study looks at a global, regional and local level on the areas of
- The use of social media
- The effectiveness of social media in matching job seekers with open positions
- The importance of web reputation
- The social capital of individual candidates
- How recruiters explore the web when looking for a candidate

The following presentation was given by me at the Dubai Lynx 2018 conference in Dubai, UAE.
A series of events have caused a societal shift in the role Saudi women play over the years. This shift has been further accelerated with Saudi Vision 2030 leading to higher women employment rates and recently lifting the ban on women driving effective from June 2018. For years, brands have been struggling with the polarity found between existing mindsets in the Kingdom. Marketers and brand owners alike have been left with little choice when communicating with Saudi women, forced to opt for the 'safe routes'. It is time for brands to rethink their communications approach in the Saudi market. #SheDrives is an illustration and discovery of how brands can play a bigger role in the lives of Saudi Women.

Technology innovation has enabled incredible changes in the human behavior. If we look back just 20 years, we recall huge changes that disrupted the status quo:
• In the mid 90’s, access to the internet changed the way people sought and consumed information (and marketers had to grapple with a whole new way of marketing online)
• In the early 2000’s, online social networks allowed millions of people to connect with each other (and marketers had to develop playbooks to best engage with the prospects and customers)
• In the late 2000’s, smartphones gave the public instant access to everything the internet offered, no matter where they are (and marketers had to ensure their content strategies were mobile-friendly)
Today, we’re in the beginning of another period of major change -- where a number of innovations and shifts (to AI, bot platforms, voice based search, and further proliferation of video content, coupled with mobile-first consumers coming of age) will have a big impact on how marketers, and businesses in general, get things done.

or posts online can:
– Get the company and the employee in legal trouble,
– Diminish the company’s brand name by creating
negative publicity for the company, owners,
partners, as well as employees,

public information or proprietary information,
– Cost the employee their job at the company.

39% of younger workers will consider leaving their jobs if they lost
access to social media sites.
– Blocking access sends a bigger message to younger generations
who value work-life balance
– “We don’t trust you.”
– “Your duties here are more important than the rest of your life”.

brand, their behavior online
reflects on the company.
32. Policies / guidelines can easily be created
to guide employees on the rights and
wrongs of using social media
– Guide employees: don’t mandate if possible,
tell them how to use it, or discourage use
