Join us on
Wednesday 9th February when we focus on
the use of social technologies for internal communications.
After last year’s
sell-out event ‘social media for good’ media140
have been invited back to social media week
to help you create an
internal business toolkit for collaboration, enrichment and
retention of employees.
How often do we hear that
an organisation’s best asset is its people? But do we
really gain most value from this valuable asset? In a time
when productivity is paramount how can we use social
technologies internally for our business.
‘People are our greatest asset’. Prove
it!
