Bottom Line
Social media provides many benefits for employees,being actively involved in a community and participating in the context. With social media, context is readily available for everyone to see. Searching has improved where Random bits of information in a search can be shown in context to provide a better explanation. This process saves time and resources because issues that have been covered do not have to discussed again. As resources have become scarce due to the economy, social media can help organisations save money, while benefiting employees.
If social media is integrated and used in a way that best suits the organisations need and culture, this will provide the community of practice with the collaborative spark it needs to realize its full potential. However, organisations needs to pay close attention to the aspects and meaning of the introductions of a new tool. Without careful attention and planning the value of social media will be lost in the community and the business as a whole.
