Digital Citizenship 

challenges addressed

Using technology appropriately allows us to connect, collaborate, and share. With more and more of our lives being lived online, our social skills will need to be adapted accordingly. 

There is a decline in in-person meetings, making a digitally-based engagement necessary. Having digital citizenship skills means possessing a set of abilities needed to work in the digital world. 

Employees need to be aware of the potential risks of posting personal information online, as well as the importance of maintaining a professional persona.

Additionally, employees should be aware of the impact their online activity can have on their employer's reputation. With good digital citizenship, employees can protect themselves and their employers from potential harm.
