You've heard the hype, but how useful is social media really? Share your experiences, comments and questions.

- we have a workforce who work remotely and are piloting a monthly temperature guage on our intranet to guage how people are feeling - it's early days yet. Has anyone got any longterm experience of these and how to make the most of them?

- I'll get up with you on that sub-group on Monday. It's a great topic. Melbourne, Australia? Great city from all I've heard. I spent some time in Sydney a few years ago and could never get down to Melbourne. My regret.

- I've set up a new sub-group on using social media in the workplace.
You've heard the hype, but how useful is social media really? Share your experiences, comments and questions.
Rather than hyping social media, the focus will be on talking about actual success and failures.
I've noticed some interesting conversations on this topic in The Employee Engagement Network already, and would like to connect with people who are interested in this topic.

Some excellent responses already to your great question Maggie.
The cynical workers present a great opportunity to make an organisation a greater place to work. Let's face it, they're cynical for a reason and if you can get truly under the skin of...

I would stop talking to employees and start listening to them. Find out what they want and how they want it. Find out how they think would be the best way to get it and help them to get it. They will have concerns, suggestions, complaints, and que...
Jason, Thanks. I agree that feeling in control is big. Also think the mistake with executive communications comes down to " It's not what you say, it's what people hear." The traditional "messaging" often fails on the latter.

Hi Lois, my last organisation did some work around 'fair process'. They had some wonderful case studies around this sort of issue. They had three key elements which I though summed up nicely what could be done.

Well said, Susan. It all starts with listening, really listening 100% without the distraction of figuring out a response while the other person is talking.
