Report Outline and Resource Analysis
Using Social Media in the Workplace to Communicate
Introduction
Social media is a useful tool that organizations are using to ensure efficient flow of information
and ideas at the workplace between various stakeholders such as customers, employees,
suppliers, investors among others. Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (RPAH) is an example of such
organisations on the verge of ensuring maximum social media engagement amongst its various
stakeholders. RPAH focuses on providing training and medical education to current and future
health professionals involved at medical research, and as Walden, (2016) points out, social media
can be a useful tool for achieving this objective. The primary purpose of this report outline is to
identify the main points and resources that will be used to complete the actual report on how
RPAH can use social media in the workplace to transmit information and ideas. It will help me to
organize the actual report by ensuring that the topic is appropriately covered and all points
properly connect to each other. The actual report will communicate profound information that
will be compiled out of research from several sources that address the use of social media in the
workplace to communicate. Whilst various users can find the report very useful, stakeholders at
Royal Prince Alfred Hospital are the intended audience and hence, will find it even more
applicable in their day-to-day workplace operations. RPAH, named after Queen Victoria's 2nd
son, His Royal Highness Prince Alfred, was founded in 1882 and to date; it is one of the most
recognised teaching hospitals in Australia and beyond. It is broadly acknowledged for its
effectiveness in medical leadership and innovation. It is highly revered for producing most of
Australia's top clinicians (Sydney Local Health District, 2018). In order to enhance its success
further, RPAH can implement a social medial communication strategy to fine-tune its workplace
operations.
