So why turn to social media?
It started with AOL chat rooms, then came blogs, Facebook and now google+, Pinterest and Instagram… It’s clear that social communication is not a passing trend. It’s also clear that traditional paradigms of communication are shifting to a more fluid and social experience.
1.It connects you directly to an engaged audience
2.It can project your brand
3.It can be used as a megaphone… and a hearing aid.

How many types of social media are out there?
At Aon Hewitt we place “Social Media” into two categories… internal and external. Both can be strategically managed to suit your organizations specific needs.
Internal social media is a platform or function of technology behind the corporate firewall and limited to employees only.
•Blogs
•Yammer
•SocialText
•Comments on intranet pages
External social media is a service provided by a separate organization, open to broader audiences like spouses and dependents.
•Facebook
•LinkedIn
•YouTube
•Twitter

Who’s communicating this way? Your employees!
People age 35 and under will become the largest generational demographic of the U.S. workforce1 — finally topping baby boomers — sometime in 2014. 70% feel they are not influenced by traditional advertising or marketing. Social media provides a relevant channel because they choose their network, device and timetable. This new demographic is 3 times more likely than employees age 50 and older, to trust general health & wellness information from a coworker they know over the Benefits Department of their company2.

How does attitude play into channel usage?
The two largest attitudinal segments among U.S. employees actually show “Web” as the preferred channel for information… add in a focus on “Friends and Families,” and social media begins to identify it’s self as a powerful channel.

Key considerations
Social media may not only be a shift in how you communicate, but it can cross over business units (HR, Corporate Communications, Marketing, etc.) Here are some things to consider before you begin.
•Work out the governance now. Get ahead of issues before they pop.
•Create or update your social media policy. Do you have one today? Does it ban employees from access to social media at work?
•Start small. Facebook makes it easy.
•Prepare to be “on.” Unlike print materials or websites, launch is the start… not the end.

Harrah’s Casino Socializes an Opening
Dropped daughter @ school after 5hr drive. Greeted with big smile by her Dorm RA. Welcomes change everything. Ready for orientation! You can't please all the people all the time but our folks in the employee cafe come pretty close. Great lunch today team. Barista @ Starbucks gave me free bev coupon 4 the long wait. Didn't ask the manager, just saw a problem and fixed it. That's #onegreatthing! Watch shop just adjusted my band for free. Where do think I'll go 4 my next watch? How many people do you think I told this story to? Actions tend to follow the lead of thoughts, so make sure your thoughts are positive. Sometimes that makes the loudest statement!
