Introduction

Welcome to an exciting new blog that is dedicated to educating, encouraging, and empowering the HR executive to become social media powerhouses within their companies.  As all of you know, hr connection is an organization that is dedicated to helping HR professionals grow and excel in their roles within the organization. 

The advent of the social media movement provides tremendous opportunity for every HR organization.  Never before have the human assets of every company been moved to the forefront of your company's brand and success.  While building value has generally been limited to a select few, now many different employees will have the chance to be superstars on the social media stage. 

At least once a week, I will add content on a variety of topics that I know will be of interest to you.  These will include:

• Developing a winning social media strategy at your organization
• Defining a social media-based employee lifecycle. (Awareness building, talent acquisition, on-boarding, employee development, employee retention, and alumni services)
• Building social media infrastructure--developing the policies and procedures that everyone needs to live by
• Protecting IP--how can you reach your potential while protecting your company's valuable intellectual property.

We will also provide links to news articles and other resources that will provide your with ideas on how to be successful in your organization.  I look forward to having an ongoing dialogue with many of you about the challenges that your face and the opportunities that you have yet to find!

For nearly two decades, hr connection has had the opportunity to facilitate small group meetings and engage in dialogue with hundreds of senior HR professionals. We are beginning to hear more and more HR professionals express an interest in using social media technologies to enhance their brand, increase employee engagement, connect with their customers, and identify and attract talented team members to their organizations. I believe that the social revolution will transform how HR functions think about their contributions to the businesses that they serve.
