GOALS FOR TODAY Understand which social media is appropriate for specific
safety applications. Define the generations and describe methods that can be
used to engage each group in the workplace via social media.
Identify at least 3 strategies you can use right away at your organization.
THE 4-WAY TEST Is the platform reputable,
safe, secure? Will the platform help me to
do something that I actually need help with?
Is the platform easy to use and intuitive?
Does the platform save me time?
BEGIN WITH END IN MIND What do you want to achieve by using social
media? Information gathering Keep up with network Expand network Job search Establish self as professional resource
BEST PLATFORMS?
LINKEDIN Easy digest of industry groups, people, ideas Easy to expand network
Before meeting After meeting
Messaging can be clunky Consume & Contribute
Hint: most people aren’t contributing!
TWITTER Easy digest of industry groups, people, ideas Easy to expand network
Difficult to maintain as many do not keep up with twitter! May be too quick for some, info is lost
FACEBOOK It’s a personal decision! Many ASSE chapters
and related organizations have pages to “like” When you “like” the page,
it has limited access to your profile, this is good!
Careful who you let into your world. My rule…
GOOGLE+ Easy to connect if you and
others have Gmail Google+ isn’t a popular
social network, still… Great for using other
Google products Hangouts (Live) YouTube – you do have a
curated YouTube page, right? Great for increasing Google
search rankings… I always cross-post here
INSTAGRAM Personally, not a
(deliberate) part of my business marketing or reach
I do network with safety pros on there…
LIVE VIDEO SERVICES What do you use?
Periscope Facebook live feature Snapchat Vine
VISUAL BLOGGING SERVICES Tumblr Pinterest

and relevant A new & exciting peer

SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS Did I miss anything?
Send a chat and I’ll share with the group Is there anything you’re using to enhance
your safety work, career, development, other? Success story? Please share.
SOCIAL IN TRAINING Don’t Compete with Social
Real-time information/engagement Updated materials, references,
graphics (relevance = credibility) They’re looking at their phone
anyway… (my site)
SOCIAL TOOLS Twitter polls
Anonymous participation www.polleverywhere.com
Even with free version, some good functionality Ask students to “check it online”
And then immediately teach others “Download the app” Share links to safety-related social media
SOCIAL MEDIA – EXTRA CREDIT Crisis Management
1/3 of adults under 30 get their news from social media Update your program! Does your company’s current social media presence
make you cringe? Offer your assistance!
EMERGING ISSUES Generational Mix
Attitude toward technology Cell phone is a limb…
Use of technology Comfort level
Communication methods Preferred
Attitude towards work What motivates?
MOTIVATING THE GENERATIONS Adults must be free to direct their own
path Respect and relate to knowledge &
experience Solutions must be practical & relevant Goal-oriented Problem solving Motivated by many factors Perceived or actual time crunch Different learning styles
SOCIAL MEDIA FOR YOUR CAREER Before a meeting After a meeting Before a conference/event After a conference/event Job prospects (company or
person)
CAUTION If you’re gainfully employed and want to keep
it that way, be cautious with your social media interactions Especially on the clock. Give others the same courtesy.
CAUTION You may be called upon to assist with social
media because you are a young professional… Safety is job #1 You can say no You can push out (social) deadlines if necessary
GOALS – MET? Understand which social media is appropriate for specific
safety applications. Define the generations and describe methods that can be
used to engage each group in the workplace via social media.
Identify at least 3 strategies you can use right away at your organization.
