Social media is becoming a widely used communication tool for the facilities manager. This webinar will identify the ways that social media tools can be adopted to assist in many aspects of service delivery, including: workplace monitoring, improving collaboration, end-user communication, customer service and business continuity planning.

Overview:

Social media is a constantly changing landscape of apps, websites and communication platforms that are adopted with varying and fluctuating success within the workplace. What is clear, is that social media cannot be seen as a fad or phase that individuals use fleetingly to share their interests and observations. Instead, social media is being widely adopted as an effective business-to-business communication tool used to relay information and data of all types to a widely dispersed group of recipients.

During our webinar, we will look at the ways that many facility managers and organisations are using social media to communicate with end-users and to gain efficiencies within their everyday operations. Throughout the webinar, we will highlight examples that can be replicated, or in some cases avoided, to aid you in assessing your existing social media strategy, or to help you develop one from the ground up

Learning Objectives:

Understand the many social media platforms commonly in use, and the benefits and pitfalls to each.
Help you appreciate the ways that social media can be used within FM.
Identify ways to implement a social media strategy that aligns to your corporate objectives.
Ways to provide effective customer care through social media.
Understand what to do if things go wrong.
