Task 3

Hi again! Our task was to plan how to use social media application in workplace, school hobby etc. We chose to use HeiaHeia and it is supposed to encourage employees to do more sport and take improve work wellfare.

Our target group is big! There is lot of issues in work wellfare and one thing is lack of sports, especially when people work in offices. And now there is somekind of solution to that. I think it is big thing to increase sport activity. HeiaHeia can make work communities closer and they can cheer eachother to train more and take care of their wellfare. Of course in HeiaHeia employer can take part too and order some personal training or launch some own programs. In my opinion that is great program and more companies should use it. For example I do office work and we do not have any kind of work wellfare program. Many there has back and neck problems and they have to take care of them themselves.
I do not see many possible security risks in this program. Users can only see groups where they are. Of course there can be bullying if they do not have too good relationship between employees there, but I do not believe that would be normal.

rules of conduct

Now I should write about rules of conduct. That means the social norms and ways of behaving in the group or company. They are made so that everyone knows how to act and follow principles. It can be said it makes companys culture. For example I used this: http://www.eura-relocation.com/?p=rules.of.conduct

Their main point is to make fair trade and do not brake the law.  Every companys or groups founders should be the ones to make these rules. They are the ones to decide how people in it should act and work. Employees responsibilities are to follow them and if someone brakes rules inform it forward. This way everything works well. Rules of conduct should be saved online and in physically in place where most of the people who are affected by it can read them.

Digital identity

This task i was supposed to google information about myself. There was not much to read. There was only my social media profiles and no pictures. I believe that I cannot control material online once it is published. It never disappears even I wanted to. So it needs to be always carefully considered what to publish.
Digital identity is formed through social media in my opinion. What persons publishes, likes ands follows. and most importantly how one acts in social media. Many have digital identity how they like their real life to be, not how it is. They act so that they build image they want others to see. It can be of course part of life person has. I think it is important to person that other people see only things they want. It is distorted but it can give happiness and self courage. I do not see it bad thing, of course it has it problems.
If nowadays political figure or communicational professional does not have any information online, it is little bit weird. They should be good at using it and for political figures it creates openess and is easy source to find information. Communication professional should also use social media. It is one of the most important way of communication, and if professional is not using it, how I can trust he or she is capable of using social media. In my opinion political figures should also use social meida. That makes them look like they want to interact with people and it is good way to spread information. There definetly should be some information in internet on both cases.

Privacy policy

In second task we should discuss about privacy in social media. We should consider this in worklife aspect. First I going to write about what privacy aspects should employees be aware about. First they should not never talk about or publish confidental or crucial information for company through social media. There could always be information leaks and always someone else sees what is written there. It could potentially be dangerous for company. Anything important should not be saved there for that reason also. Employees also have to realize they represent company when they are acting in social media behalf of the company. They have to follow company line of PR.
Benefits of openess and transparency are that then there is nothing to hide. When that thing what is hided comes out, that hurts company a lot. It also creates more trustworhty image of the company if its actions are transparent and open in social media and in real life. It is beneficial to share personal information online when that adds value. For example if employee is expert on something that is worth of saying. It also increases image and trustworthiness of company.
