Abstract: Employee development is one of the key processes constituting human resources management. Due to rapid progress in technology and accessibility of the internet, a significant part of human activity is being transferred to the virtual world. One of the most popular tools used on the internet is social media. It is beyond any discussion that the role of the internet and social media in the development of employees is increasing. Social media offer clear advantages for teaching employees from new generations (like Y or Z). Attributes, such as openness, collaboration and user-generated content, combined together with social media’s increasing popularity among young employees are the reasons why use of social networks in human resources development garners substantial interest among employers. The author of the paper attempts to analyze the method in which social media are used as a tool for supporting the development of young employees.
