Understanding the digital employee

This is perhaps the must succinct guide to working with digitally enabled employees: whether a Generation “Y”, a millenial, or a particularly adept Generation Xer.

Plus ca change …

Well. I find myself in an interesting situation. After years of working as a government communicator, albeit with extensive exposure to the policy development process, I have just moved over to a largely research-based role.

This means I am busy ginning up on leading an actual policy and research function. And adjusting to being responsible for a planning window that extends beyond next Tuesday (us communicators, especially media relations types, are notoriously short sighted).

You may have felt the effects - my posting rate has been erratic of late.

Rest assured, my interest in communications and social media remains strong (and I am restraining from making a lame Yoda reference here).

But I’m certainly being helped by these great guides from New Zealand, via Jason.
