Social media is now inseparable from the modern workplace. While platforms such as LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok create powerful opportunities for networking, learning, and brand visibility, they also introduce significant professional, legal, and reputational risks when used carelessly.

This Social Media at Work – 1 Day Workshop is designed to help employees, managers, and leaders understand how to use social media responsibly, professionally, and in alignment with organisational expectations. The workshop focuses on real workplace scenarios, practical guidance, and current best practices to ensure participants can engage online without exposing themselves or their organisation to unnecessary risk.

Participants will explore how social media impacts professional credibility, organisational reputation, information security, and freedom of speech at work. Through case studies, discussions, videos, and guided activities, learners will gain the confidence to make informed decisions about what to post, share, comment on, or avoid altogether.

This training is particularly valuable for organisations seeking to strengthen social media governance, reduce reputational risk, and encourage positive, professional online behaviour among their workforce.
