Online Presence - A Must Have

 An online presence refers to the digital footprint or visibility that an entity maintains on the internet. While having a website or social media accounts can contribute to an online presence, simply having these platforms does not guarantee effective online visibility.

Yes, having a website provides a foundational base for your online presence, offering a unique online address and location. Similarly, maintaining social media accounts can enhance your online presence by engaging with audiences on various platforms.

However, merely having these platforms does not ensure online discoverability. To truly establish an online presence, an entity must be easily discoverable by its target audience through multiple channels:
  • Search: Ensuring that your website and content are optimized for search engines, making it easier for users to find you through search queries.
  • Advertisements: Utilizing online advertising platforms to reach and engage with target audiences effectively.
  • Content: Creating high-quality and relevant content that resonates with your audience, increasing your visibility and credibility online.
  • Social Platforms: Leveraging social media platforms to connect and interact with your audience, sharing content and engaging in conversations.
By effectively leveraging these channels and ensuring discoverability across various online platforms, an entity can confidently claim to have established an online presence.

While there has been notable progress in Human Resource Management (HRM) over recent decades, there remains a pervasive sense of unmet potential. HRM has often been entangled in public relations and marketing endeavors rather than earnestly considering how to strike a harmonious balance between the needs of employees and employers.
