#TChat Radio: Into the Old "New" West of Social at Work
Highlights
This was our fifth radio episode and the last of 2011. We did something a little different and journey back a few years to the old "new" west...
Two employees walk slowly into a break room and sit down. Along the wall "Wanted" posters cover the bulletin boards:
"Remember, visiting social media sites are forbidden during business hours. Violators will be prosecuted."
The employees laugh then stare each other down.
"Draw," one says to the other.
They whip out their new smart phones and shoot onto Twitter and Facebook. Social technology outlaws in their own companies that never saw it coming.
HRxAnalysts has just published the 2012 Index of Social Technology in HR and Recruiting. The research report documents the ongoing shift in how organizations acquire and manage technology. The various tools and techniques of social technology are entering the organization from the ground up. Surprisingly, social media is slow to take hold - the major social media companies are nearly a decade old and still HR and recruiting penetration is less than 20%. Even so, the claims of evangelists and vendors demand urgency.
#TChat Radio welcomed our very special guest John Sumser, Principal Analyst of HRxAnalysts, on Wednesday, December 14 at 7 PM EST for an interactive discussion about his latest HRxAnalysts social technology research and the wild west of social at work.
