HR Starting To See The Value In Social Computing
Value | No comments | September 10th, 2009
Though I am sure many will argue this quote, I really like it, for it’s provocative nature if nothing else:
But through these social technologies HR has a tremendous opportunity to become more valuable than your PR department, your marketing team, and even your sales team by making a fundamental shift from control and comply to connect and engage.
This is from a post by Mike Thompson on his blog The Organizational Champion. Mike is focusing in on the same issues I am with Decision 3D, mainly that your internal culture, behaviors and processes will be reflected in how you are perceived externally. Moving in the direction of trusting employees will make better employees and strengthen your external image. Giving employees the freedom to interact with their peers without the rules and regulations typically imposed by HR governance is a clear expression of that trust.
