..And ten ideas to take your company social today (or tomorrow)
Paul Harrison
Where are these conversations taking place? •Blogs •Social Networks •Business Networks•Micro-blogs, Social bookmarks•Communities•Wikis, other participatory / user-
generated media•Virtual Worlds
Why wouldn’t my organisation actively participate in the social media? • No one reads blogs anyway• I get enough applications, thanks very much • Hyves and Facebook are blocked to our
employees. What would be the point? • I don’t want my product or recruitment ads
appearing on inappropriate personal pages • I haven’t got the budget or the time to
manage this• All of the above reasons, plus another 100
there isn’t space to list...
Why must organisations actively participate?
You’re already involved
Case study – Morrisons
•At least 15,000 employees (or ex-employees) members of Morrisons’ Facebook groups – reach of 0.25 million
•Vast majority of content inappropriate / at odds with employer brand proposition
Why do these conversations matter? •Brand image•Internal morale / encouraging the right
behaviours•Damage to your digital DNA
Why do these conversations matter? •Your brand is being defined by people
external to your organisation
•Customers and Candidates are using social spaces to validate your brand proposition

opportunities to build rich relationships with existing customers, new customers, engage existing employees and reach out to new talent.
