employed within a Social Department to
investigate people’s lives.

unable to qualify for the profit sharing.

Facebook updates and sharing “25 Random
Things About Me” questionnaires totaled 1.7
billion minutes compared to this year’s 13.9
billion. That’s a 700 percent increase in time
spent virtually loafing around, according to
Nielsen Online.

Today’s Challenges
18
Reflections on Ford’s Experiment
• Employees are conversing online -
regardless of what our social media
guidelines may dictate.
• Employees are more loyal to themselves
than to their employers.
• It is egotistical to assume anyone can
dictate how a person lives their lives.
19
Encourage the Use of Social Media
• 31% of people on social networks seek to
be part of a community.
• 28% seek recognition from peers.
• 22% are sharing with friends and family.
20
Create a Culture of Participation
• Businesses are paying closer attention and
reacting to social media, not as corporate
monoliths via press releases, but as
individuals, with faces, personal profiles,
opinions, and stories to tell.
21
Create a Culture of Participation
• Mass communications is being rapidly
replaced by more personal communication
among community members. Some of
those community members are employees
that work for the company that produces
the product or services; others are
partners, prospects, and clients.
22
Promote the Value of Personal
Branding
• Make it about them.
• Make sure everyone knows how to use the
privacy settings of the various tools
available.
• Converse, Share, Celebrate.
