SUMMARY:ONLINE-SOCIAL MEDIA ETIQUETTE
DESCRIPTION:Members $60/ Non Members $85 \npresented by Hilary JM Topper \nHave you ever posted on social media and then gone back 5 minutes later and deleted it because you’re worried someone might take it the wrong way? \nAre you surprised to learn that some hiring companies will look at your personal social media accounts before offering you a job? \nIf your job is a huge part of your life and your life is painstakingly documented on social media\, is it just a matter of time before you say something on your personal page that will affect you professionally? \nCOVID blurred the lines between personal and professional. Our homes have become offices\, and we use social media to keep tabs on both our personal and business relationships. And even if we think we know about social media etiquette\, the line between what is appropriate and inappropriate to post isn’t as clear-cut as it was a few years ago. This training session will focus on the dos and the don’ts of today’s social networking. What should you post? What shouldn’t you post? How does it impact the organization when you post something that is controversial on your own page? \nThis training can also assist HR professionals in crafting company policies by identifying potential issues around social media use. \nHilary JM Topper\, MPA is the CEO of HJMT Public Relations Inc. She is the author of three books including Branding in a Digital World. Hilary is an avid blogger who has two blogs – HilaryTopper.com\, the NY Lifestyle Blog\, and ATriathletesDiary.com blog. She is also a podcaster with Hilary Topper on Air. In her free time\, she trains for triathlons and is a USA Triathlon coach\, RRCA Running Coach\, and USMS Swim Coach.
