The benefits of getting social
Print
Social media can be a sewer. It can also be a shining light. It all depends on how you use it. You can be picky about who you let see your posts, and picky about who you follow.
By curating your list of who you follow, you can be inspired or challenged or informed about what s happening at a supplier company or customer s office.
While most businesses already are comfortable with LinkedIn, other platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter also can be used to connect with the world outside your corporate doors.
When I m researching background on a company I m not familiar with, I frequently find myself checking a social media feed filled with birthday celebrations, lunches for workers to meet production goals and cakes marking work anniversaries. For prospective employees, posts like those may tempt them to apply for job openings.
