Overview
Social Media in the Workplace - Intermediate Level - Online Training Course - CPDUK Accredited.
Welcome to our online Social Media in the Workplace training course. All our online training courses, programmes and qualifications are accredited by the CPD Certification Service (CPDUK).
We are being flooded with social media invitations and updates. Web-based communication icons like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn are dominating the way we interact with each other. People are feeling the need to be updated at all times. It has become a time-eater, and businesses are quickly becoming aware of the drain it can have on productivity. People love to share, but they need to know what is alright to share and what should not be sent out.
Understanding social media is about communicating the right way. We are beginning to communicate more through electronic means than face to face. Talking on a phone has been replaced more and more with SMS (texting.) Social media channels are becoming the primary form of communication and our online Social Media in the Workplace training course will help learners realise how social media and the workplace can work together.

Description
Course aims
Understanding social media is about communicating the right way. We are beginning to communicate more through electronic means than face to face. Talking on a phone has been replaced more and more with SMS (texting.) Social media channels are becoming the primary form of communication and our online Social Media in the Workplace training course will help learners realise how social media and the workplace can work together.
Learning outcomes
The learning outcomes of this online Social Media in the Workplace training course are to:
- Learn the meaning of social media
- Learn different ways social media is used and altered
- Build and maintain a social media policy
- Keeping your social media secure
- Establishing rules for the social media the company posts
- Discover the benefits and pitfalls of using social media.
In what ways can social media be helpful in the workplace?
- Tweeting inappropriate memes
- Instagramming lunches
- Facebooking a few office selfies.
These are the events companies fear will flood their workplaces if they let employees use social media on the job. Unfortunately, for businesses that ban the use of social media in the workplace, it is likely, your employees are using it regardless of your policy.
According to the Pew Research Center, 77 percent of workers reported they use social media while on the job. This data shows that while you may think your company is doing a good job curbing social media use in the workplace, it is likely not.
Employers should limit the time and energy they spend on stopping employees from using social media in the workplace. Instead, they need to focus on how they can channel social media use to benefit their employees.
