Government-specific social media training is essential
Your government agency leverages social media to engage with the people you serve, disseminate messages, gather public input and make informed decisions. But how can you prevent mistakes, avoid embarrassing missteps, protect your agency from potential lawsuits and improve your agency's reputation if your staff isn't fully versed in these nuances?
Many social media training programs cater to the private sector, but they lack the specialized understanding of government complexities that GSM Training provides!
