Comments on: “Change is not death.

To date, I’ve been sharing Libby Sartain’s blog post, "Wake Up People: Don’t Ban Social Media in the Workplace!" Now, I’m going to use this one as well. Thanks, Stephanie, for centralizing all this compelling data to help HR fight the good fight. :) When I start to talk to organizations about social media for talent acquisition, this is inevitably one of the first concerns raised.

I can attest for success stories of social media use but I can also attest to the increase in the amount of time I spend working due to time I spend online. I encourage my staff to utilize social media, but it does cause concern if one of my employee’s is tweeting every 5 minutes throughout the day unless its part of their job. The distraction does reflect in other projects taking longer to complete. It’s a challenge that we need to overcome in terms of balance, give the freedom to your team but understand that their performance measures have not changed just as it wouldn’t if they suddenly began to take 10 more “water cooler” breaks throughout the day.
