Official: Give staff Facebook ‘or risk losing them’
The other day I wrote a post titled Implementing Web 2.0 is critical for attracting talent.
I just saw this newspaper article titled: Give staff Facebook ‘or risk losing them’
CONSTRUCTION giant John Holland says allowing employees to access social networking site Facebook can play a role in attracting and keeping young workers.
The building company has been hit hard by the current skills shortage, with group managing director David Stewart highlighting engineering as a profession experiencing an “extreme” shortage.
…and goes on to describe why John Holland decided banning Facebook was dumb.
Thanks for the pointer from James Dellow. Yes, you’re right James, I love it!
The funny thing is that lots of large companies spend millions on trying to improve networking within their organisations and then suddenly a very efficient networking tool emerges and they shut it down!
