Event details: There is no doubt that over the past few years HR Professionals have had to get to grips with what Social Media means in the workplace.

All too often, however, emphasis is placed on the “behavioural” aspects of social media use – what policies to have in place and how to “police” them. Increasingly social media is being used as an organisational wide tool and as such HR Professionals need to ensure that they are not missing out on this potentially innovative and cost effective way of reaching various communities – be they organisation wide or “out there” in the general market place.

This not be missed event will be run by Lis Wilson of Leeds based Social Recruitment.

Lis has nearly 20 years recruitment experience and has spent the last 8 years as a Director of a successful Online Recruitment business. She was one of the first recruiters to use LinkedIn in the UK and is passionate about helping employers to use the internet & social media to recruit top talent. But it’s not just about using Social Media as a recruitment tool – it’s about how your organisation is perceived by its workforce and the population at large.

This interactive session will include:
• An overview on social media sites
• Case studies on how HR are using Twitter, Facebook & LinkedIn
• Making best use of Company & Personal Profiles
• Recruitment, Retention and YOUR Employer Brand with Social Media

It will help you to understand some of the key tools to help you manage external communications
