This is done in order to inform the community of what their department does, and to build confidence and trust towards their agency.

It’s a sad fact and even though most people do it, posting ones every day move can still affect their job and personal relationships.

The first action to be taken to advocate for the hiring of veterans and the establishment of collaborative programs for the veteran community will be through the use of different social media tools. To raise awareness on the issues, the use of Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook is best suited for this objective. Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn are the most widely used forms of social media today, with Facebook still in the lead for the most used social media platform in the world (Hutt, 2017).  These different media platforms would raise awareness of the issue of veteran unemployment and veteran homelessness since the majority of the public is not aware of the issues veterans face. Collaborative programs within the community are needed to relieve the issue of veteran homelessness and social media would reach the community to implement this collaboration.

This is an era of massive violations of privacy rights and individual liberties due to the new technologies of surveillance, data mining, electronic monitoring, biometric chips, spamming, hacking, phishing, and security breaches at major private and public institutions. These new technologies make the protection of privacy rights far more difficult than in the pre-electronic past.

Whether a healthcare organization is supports unions or is against them, it should have a policy on unionism, and this policy should be communicated to its employees. Fried and Fottler (2015) explain that a positive labor-management relationship begins with this policy. A unionization policy will often include policies concerning wages, benefits, hours and conditions of employment, which Gamble (2011) says are the most common reasons for unionization. With clear policies and procedures regarding unionization, an employee can find the information they need regarding the most common reasons for unionization and proceed through the correct channels for change. A policy also shows that management understands that each employee is important and deserves respect and that time and thought goes into employee relations (Fried and Fottler, 2015). An employee can also see and understand the implications of unionization with a clearly outlined unionization policy (Gamble, 2011).
