54 of Businesses Prohibit Employee Social Media Use

New research from

Permitted for any type of personal use - 10%
Don't know/no answer - 1%

  Employees potentially damaging a company's reputation (not to mention their own) is still a big concern. "Professionals should let common sense prevail when using Facebook and similar sites -- even outside of business hours," said Willmer. "Regrettable posts can be a career liability."

Granted, the information presented by Robert Half is only representative of 1,400 companies, but the percentage of those businesses who prohibit social network use completely is likely to decrease in my opinion. There may be an increase in those who only allow it for business use, but as more companies figure out ways they can measure ROI with social media, they're going to want to get employees involved. I would expect more of a balance between those who prohibit it, and those who limit it to business use.

Do you want your employees using social media?
