.As a matter of fact, 55% executives reveal that their company do not have an official policy for social networks. They'd better have one because it's easy to damage a company's reputation on social media as nearly 75% employees agrees.
There is also a risk for employees to expose their profile on social media as it can impact their reputation in their job context in a negative way. We need to address these privacy issues over time, but for now just beware to separate what your "friends" see from what the world can see.
