The "zero-cost revelations" on social media present significant public opinion risks for companies. In corporate public opinion crises, one major category involves HR-related issues. Campus recruitment, layoffs, compensation, workplace injuries—each term is a key to negative traffic on social media platforms. As a generation raised with smartphones enters the workforce, they are adept at using social media, familiar with techniques to gain influence, and have a strong desire for self-expression. For companies, preventing all HR-related content from appearing online has become nearly impossible.
Traditionally, public opinion risks stemmed from business and communications departments, but now, HR has become a high-risk department for public opinion. Therefore, it is essential for HR to enhance its crisis prevention awareness, understand related risks, and take measures to prevent issues from arising.社交媒体上的“0成本爆料”带给企业巨大的舆情隐患。企业舆情危机中有一个重要分类就是HR有关舆情。校招、裁员、赔偿、工伤……每一个词都是平台上的负面流量密码。手机上长大的一代人进入劳动力市场，他们善于使用社交媒体，熟悉流量技巧，也有很强的表达欲望。对企业来说，想让企业HR有关的内容彻底不出现在网上，已经是不可能的。
传统上，舆情风险来自于业务和沟通相关部门，但是现在，HR已经是舆情高危部门，因此，HR有必要提高危机防范意识，了解相关的舆情风险，并做好日常言行的防范。

When the task becomes less clear and there are laws to follow, what we need is a proactive spirit of exploration, rather than 'I do whatever is asked of me', and this requires subordinates to have sufficient internal driving force. As the new generation enters the workplace, they have a strong sense of security and are much more picky about managers and work environments than before. However, the management skills of managers have not improved significantly in proportion. More and more motivational courses are breaking away from the daily management tasks of managers, and discussing motivational skills alone can make managers believe that they need several "carrots" that can work wonders. The course identifies key moments and influencing factors in the process of managers pushing others to accept challenges and achieve goals, and provides methods to inspire others.
1. 当任务变的不那么清晰且有法可依的时候，我们需要的是主动探索精神，而非“让我做什么我就做什么” ，而这需要下属有足够的内在驱动力。
2. 新新人类进入职场，有足够安全感的他们对管理者和工作环境的挑剔远超过从前，然而管理者的管理技能并没有同比例的大幅提升。
3. 越来越多的激励课程跳脱出管理者的日常管理任务，而单独谈激励技巧，会让管理者认为他们需要的是几根能发挥奇效的“胡萝卜”课程从管理者推动他人接受挑战，完成目标的过程中识别关键时刻和影响要素，给出激发他人的方法。
