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。
