Outside of recruiters, HR professionals often view social media as a time-waster and look for ways to limit employee access. But what if social media could encourage professional development, provide top customer service, and expand your company's reputation?

Find out what other social media outlets (beside LinkedIn and Facebook) exist to grow your business and how to use them. Social media isn't just for socializing anymore. You'll leave able to:

*Evaluate and select the appropriate type of social media to support what you want to accomplish at work.
*Take advantage of the real opportunities that social media can provide to help you work smarter.
*Make intelligent decisions about personnel policies governing the use of social media by employees.

Everyone's needs are different. Bring your questions and be prepared to learn from an executive who has grown two successful businesses using social media.
