Social Media In The Workplace

hey everybody trying to get rally on these Gary v. com videos so I want to bang one out real quick little micro thought figured you know I've been trying to make these thoughts too big and that leaves me not communicating with you guys as much as I'd like to so I'm going to go with micro thoughts a little bit more often so here it is you know not allowing your employees to speak on Twitter or Facebook or any other social network in fear that they may something say something wrong out there that would affect your business is insanity and I guess the picture that I want to paint is it's like 4 all your employees to ride a horse to work and what I mean by that is the ship has sailed the day of employes not being able to talk is over and what you need to do is not treat it like a communistic thing where we're not going to let you do things you need to treat it as a capitalistic thing let them talk react if somebody tweets I hate my company or our products suck you fire them and you issue a heartfelt not bull crap public apology consumers understand the deal they're a lot smarter than all you top Executives out there that are trying to analyze what's good and bad there is a humanization of business coming and people recognize that we're all flawed we all have flaws and no employee can your business I promise you and so by allowing them to be out there and humanize your brand or your business you will be attracting new business you know there's clearly an indication of that when you see what's going on with Best Buys and zapo I highly recommend that you really rethink this process of approving everything an employee says or having the PR Company heavily involved we need to open up the reings allow people to talk share feelings it brings a lot more emotion to the table and most of all you're just fighting an uphill battle you're on the wrong side of History the ship has sailed allow it and react to it instead of closing it down and creating a very awkward and old school thought process
