This Social Media Awareness Training course raises awareness of the risks associated with using social media and how using these platforms inappropriately can have severe consequences.
Social media has changed the way the world interacts with each other, both personally and professionally. In fact, the average internet user spends 145 minutes per day on social media! With that said, there are a number of risks associated with social media usage that both organisations and their staff/volunteers must be aware of and know how to mitigate.
This short online Social Media Awareness course explores how social media might be used at work, and also when it shouldn’t be used. Additionally, it covers the importance of following an organisation’s policies and procedures surrounding social media usage and why publicly sharing confidential or private information can be extremely damaging.
This Social Media Awareness course isn’t just for those who work in Marketing or Advertising either, it’s for anyone who might use social media within the workplace, for whatever reason.
