HR and Social Networking- using Twitter, Linked in and Facebook

Posted on Tuesday 28 April 2009

Do you tweet your thoughts throughout the day? Do you find yourself sneaking on Facebook during meetings and conference calls to keep up with your friends and family? Do you look at other people’s Linked In page and get “Contact Envy”? Or, maybe you find all these concepts new and confusing? Either way, SDRR is here to help our members maximize the effectiveness of using Social Networking in the San Diego Business Community.

SDRR understands and embraces the value of social networking both on our business and personal lives. Social Networking sites are the wave of future business. If your company is not already using this powerful media, rest assured you will be soon.
A strong social media campaign can be very effective, yet most people quickly find it is very time consuming to maintain. We understand you are busy, and so many of us are wearing more hats at work than ever. As part our continued effort to support our membership, we will utilize the top 3 social media sites to create awareness of the SDRR brand, highlight member issues and announcements, display job postings and the promote the overall importance of HR in San Diego.
Twitter and Facebook are important sites for us to promote member job postings. We are working with SmartSearch to automate our job postings right to our Twitter feed, but in the meantime these are being added manually and our website hits have soared! Our blog will also be updated to all of our social media feeds. We have created a fan page on Facebook which will help us to promote our events, website, job listings, blog entries, news and Service Provider Network. Julie Magnuson, Founder of SDRR, also maintains a Linked In page and provides key information about current SDRR events to her many contacts.
Remember, all members and Service Providers are encouraged to blog on the SDRR site! Instructions are on the Blog page, and entries are subject to approval. We know that there is a wealth of knowledge within our membership base. Take the time to share your information on key and relevant topics in HR, and now your blog entry will get promoted on all Social Media sites as well.
Now, when your boss asks you what you are doing to use Social Media to support the business’s HR needs, you have a strategy which is already generating positive results. Help support the Social Media efforts, and make sure that you have SDRR on your list in all forms of Social Media you use.
We want to be part of your Linked In, your Twitter Tweeps and your Facebook Peeps!
