Managing HR Using Social Media

I bet in some developed and open minded countries, some HR are already managing using fb as one of the most powerfull tool. Why? Because most young people (and also older ones) are expressing themselves through fb either directly or indirectly. Furthermore, HR and the bosses can actually understand their staff better, their interest, their feelings and also their family members. You can do a lot of communcations, surveys and stuff using new media. Employees can share their photos and employers also can upload some promo videos about the company or products and get instant respond from their employees. They can also discuss topics of their interest that HR or management might want to know not to punish but to improve and meet the employees needs and wants.

But really, it requires great courage for the HR and employers to really be open and transparent. And it depends on the respond whether it's good or bad.
