How social media has revolutionised HR? Social media is very much a part of our lives whether or not we realise it. It is apparent that it has revolutionised Human Resources (HR) in various ways and will only continue to grow and improve it. The digital age that we live in has revolutionised our thinking in the 21st century to make life easier as many would simply put it, if the technology is available why not use it?

Sam Butz Exercise 3 – Choice 2 (Paper) ADV 3361 February 21, 2017 @mrseaves101 To me, Instagram has transformed into one of the best sources for inspiration.

An occupational therapy student at Temple University by the name of Emily Wishnick interviews a man named Tom Dixon in the video.

Honestly, I minimally engage in social media. I just joined Facebook this past summer because of SHSU. I wanted to be connected and not miss out on any HIED communication between fellow Graduate students and faculty. So I took the plunge and created an account.
