You do? Then submit your company to appear in the Social HR “IT” List.
The Social Workplace believes there are two key areas of social HR transformation: 1) implement high performing systems that streamline business and people processes to enable productivity; and, 2) leverage the employee lifecycle to create a sustaining and engaging experience that drives relevancy and adoption.
In creating the Putting Social HR in Its Place infographic, I broke down the employee lifecycle and identified opportunities to socially transform each area. As a result, I’m frequently asked to name companies that provide products or solutions to enable this social transformation. So, I’d like to put a list together that aligns the need with the solution – companies who need to socially transform their learning processes can easily find a company that provides a solution.

There is an overwhelming torrent of information hitting us from all angles when it comes to social media. For most professionals, the question is no longer
why, but
how. But it’s a daunting task to interpret and sort out the knowledge, statistics and research, and determining the best approach for you and for your organization. If your experience is anything like mine, every answer results in even more questions.
Update: A version of this post was published on Ragan Communications: “50 definitions of employee engagement” on August 6, 2012. Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to this post!
With the evolution and growing attention to employee engagement one thing has become very clear. Employee engagement comes in many shades, different definitions. It’s a concept that outwardly has a very simple meaning, but we know underneath, there are multiple layers, multiple shades that add to its complexity. Its meaning and how you define it can vary depending on your role, your organization, your individual satisfaction and even personal happiness. The levels of interest vary: there are those who don’t understand its value and won’t take part at all, those who play more of the voyeur, watching as it happens, and then there are those who are eager participants, actively driving and leading engagement efforts. We also know that how organizations define and promote employee engagement has evolved over time and has varying shades of definitions depending on the needs of the organization.

Having a warm body fill that vacant seat in your office may seem like a better option than nothing, but beware: Your new hire could be a zombie.
No, not the living dead type. More like the deadbeat variety.
A bad employee could cost you upwards of $50,000 when all is said and done. While salary makes up part of the figure, to really calculate the full cost, you have to factor in recruiting, lost business, training and possible legal action. [Mashable] Read the full post >>
When I present social business as my passion, the typical listener assumes I’m talking about Yammer, Facebook or Sharepoint. It’s interesting to see how they can easily confuse social platforms as the same as being a social business. But it’s not.
It’s easy to become distracted by shiny, new tools and platforms, but these are just delivery channels. As I’ve learned, and I’m sure as you have as well (if you’re reading this post), being a social business is so much more than that. Social within a business may have began with Marketing and IT, but let’s face it… we’ve reached a point where it’s clear that Human Resources is the GLUE in creating social programs that are not only relevant and adoptable to employees, but ones that transform your organization and its culture. If you’re truly looking to transform your organization through social tools, then your purpose should be based on the human ingredients necessary to drive that change: employees.

The Sad State of Social Media Privacy [Infographic], MDG Advertising
The relationship between social media and privacy has long been a controversial one, but with recent privacy breaches, ever-changing privacy settings and an overall increase in the things we share in social media, there is now renewed attention to the troublesome topic. To shed some light on where consumers stand on social media privacy issues, MDG Advertising created an enlightening infographic that shows consumers’ levels of trust, feelings of control, and attitudes toward online privacy and protection. It also offers insight on what consumers ultimately want in terms of social media and privacy. With consumers becoming more and more concerned about protecting their privacy in the social media era, social networks must make privacy a priority in order to keep consumers as fans and followers.

The State of Social Collaboration, Central Desktop
Social collaboration is here to stay. In less than five years, the dialogue around social collaboration has shifted from skepticism to “expecticism.”
In the near future, software vendors won’t differentiate on whether or not they are social – virtually all business software will be inherently social. The intranets of tomorrow will ALL be like Facebook. Rapid and hyper collaboration tools that leverage the entire company and remote workers will be “table stakes” in the enterprise.
It goes without saying we believe that social collaboration is changing how companies work together, how they innovate and how they serve their customers. As such, we’ve created an infographic that chronicles the history of social collaboration, illustrating where the industry has come from, how large it has become and where it is growing.

Some argue that human resources professionals are late-adopters when it comes to anything technology related, including social media. But the popularity and possibilities that social recruiting have brought to the profession are causing HR pros to take notice.
While part of HR’s role is to mitigate legal risks, another very large component is to help support and cultivate the corporate culture.
