Two Votes For Social Media Training at Work From Google the Bloggess - Workology

Two Votes For Social Media Training at Work From Google the Bloggess Two Votes For Social Media Training at Work I am a firm believer in providing social media training for new hires and employees within organizations.  Companies spend millions billions of dollars with union avoidance training, employee diversity, awareness training, and sexual harassment videos, presentations, and consent forms.  We (organizations and HR folks) dont expect employees to figure it out so we provide them information as well as the facts to guide their decision making process.  Corporate CYA also plays a part.  By training you (eager employee), I (Company X) have done the due diligence and can sleep a little more soundly than they did before.  Its more than a social media policy, social media memo, or some social media policies consent form.  Social media training for work and life should be no different, and proper training could help avoid a situation like that happened at Google this week. Two Votes For Social Media Training at Work Essentially an engineer at Google who is an experienced and seasoned employee with 6 years of service, sent out a message on Googles social network, Google + meant for those employees within the organization.  It was a rant of sorts with a great deal of criticism focused on the engineers former employer, Amazon. The ranting which is available to view here  was posted accidentally for viewing publicly on Google + instead of internally through their social network.  Let me rephrase, THEIR OWN SOCIAL NETWORK, Google+.  The engineer who realized his error,  deleted  the post, but it was too late.  The damage had been done and now the fear that every CEO is realized when it comes to employee use of social media.  Accept it wasnt some mom and pop company or small time organization.  It was freaking Google, the fastest growing company in the world with the second most visited website on the planet.  If a Google engineer, cant get the memo and ensure that private company information as well as conversations are kept private, how can we expect our own employees to do the same? We cant. . .  The engineer essentially hit reply all to the universe on the worlds largest search engine.   Speaking of reply all, its not just social media that we should be worried about these days.  Email is still an area where things can go horribly wrong.  Jose, a Brand Link Communications employee accidentally hit reply all with the words What a fucking bitch! responding to a message received by a blogger who the PR firm was pitching to blog about one of their clients, the Kardashians no less.  By replying all, Jose sent a message to the member of his team as well as the blogger being pitched.  When The Bloggess, a popular blogger with a million plus Twitter followers posted her blog about the interaction, the article quickly went viral and Brand Link Communications had one hell of a day. Bottom line.  Social media is here to stay, but like sexual harassment we have to provide our employees with an understanding, awareness, and tools to be able to make good decisions.  Because these things have a way of getting out of hand.  And with the use of social media increasing daily as a business tool and a communication tool, its only going to continue.

Different Ways to Learn About Occupations Probably the most ideal approaches to find out about a profession is to watch somebody carrying out that responsibility. Employment shadowing presents the open door for your high schooler or pre-youngster to get a very close glance at a profession by tailing a coworker for a couple of hours or a couple of days. You should search for any chance to carry your kid into the work environment not exclusively to find out about occupations in which they express intrigue yet in addition to make them mindful of ones they have never known about or about which they know close to nothing. Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day, held the world over on the fourth Thursday of each April, opens children to an assortment of vocations by having them go with their folks or different family members to their working environments. Vocation days present another approach to find out about the manners in which individuals get by. Schools frequently welcome guardians and others into the homeroom every year to talk about their occupations. In the event that your childs school doesnt hold such an occasion, converse with the staff and organization to check whether they can begin one. Network associations, for example, the Girl Scouts likewise hold profession days.

Angela on Local 24 Memphis Memphis To Moore Update - Copeland Coaching

Angela on Local 24 Memphis Memphis To Moore Update Thank you to Sean Parker and Local 24 for a second amazing story today!   Sean did an update on the Memphis To Moore fundraiser, and my hometown of Moore, Oklahoma. Last May, Moore was hit by an EF5 tornado that was more than 1 mile wide.   It caused damage to more than 1,400 homes and 20 of the 35 Moore Public Schools buildings. As a former student from Moore Public Schools, I felt compelled to partner up with The Westin Memphis Beale Street, and RedRover Sales Marketing to host a fundraiser for 200 Memphians to raise funds for the schools. We raised over $34,000 in donations, including gym equipment for my junior high school, Highland East.   The equipment was donated by Karen Wilder Fitness and shipped by Big League Movers (who donated 100% of their shipping services!!). Cash raised was donated to the Moore Public Schools Tornado Relief Fund to cover the needs of teachers and students impacted by the tornado. In all, there was $55M in total damage to the school system.   The three most badly damaged properties, Plaza Towers Elementary, Briarwood Elementary, and High East Junior High, are all still under construction.   Most other school properties have been repaired, and students are back in school. For those who have asked about my parents street, one home was beyond repair and was rebuilt completely. Two others were badly damaged and are almost completed.   Other repairs are complete. Thank you to everyone who donated their time, money, and energy for the fundraiser.   I appreciate all of your help and support!   Moore teachers, students, and residents send their thank yous to everyone in Memphis.
