Informational privacy: Information privacy, or data privacy, is the relationship between collection and
dissemination of data, technology, the public expectation of privacy, and the legal and political issues
surrounding them.

some employers will threaten social privacy by suggesting that employees should not bring their firm
into ‘disrepute’ by behaving in an ‘unacceptable’, ‘immoral’, or illegal way during their social lives.

situation:

Employee can use social networking site purpose of their company such as- they can create a facebook
page about their product or promotional activities. They can also promote their product by giving
advertisement in websites. Employee should know about social networking because it’s a way of inform
about the company, product and themselves.
Yes this case influence use these sites in future. With working experience employee should know about
social networking sites. Because-
Employee can easily communicate worldwide people and they can provide about themselves or their
product.
Find them from anywhere anytime, and anyplace.
Question 4:
How would you finally decide as the personnel Manager in this situation?
Training programme: A programme that has been designed to deliver training in specific skills.
As a personnel manager of AllCure Pharmaceuticals. And I want to select a best candidate between two
applicants for assist clinical text and become the next blockbuster drug for the company. They require a
very reliable, meticulous work attitude, but also good social skills to manage the different relations
between the clinics.
One candidate who has good social network skills and another candidate who has some work
experiences. As a personnel manager I want to select this candidate who has good social networking
skills. Because she can communicate everyone very easily and she can operate a deal with satisfying the
customer.
Some arguments for the first candidate-
Now a days, we are depending on internet so social networking skills are very essential.
She would provide service by using internet. Such as- sending mail, by websites, Skype etc
She is well traveled individual and this is the way of self-satisfaction and keep mind fresh.
But she needs some training programme. Such as-
Give her training about the job and give some knowledge about workplace.
Try to attend her on the job because she has already good social networking skills.
Why I didn’t select the second candidate for this job because-
Second candidate is not interested about introduced new member.
Social network is very essential for improve the business customer and communicate to their clients in
easy way. But she didn’t maintain it still now.
