Time To Police Social Media As Workplace Risk?

Twenty-nine percent of employees surveyed agree their companies should regulate political expression on social media and 27% think their company should have a political expression policy, according to results released Wednesday by Clutch.

Clutch, a firm offering business-to-business data and consulting, surveyed 500 full-time workers on their thoughts regarding the intersection of social media and employment, and whether their company ought to have a say in what is said off the job and on the internet.

Younger workers under 35 want the hands-off approach: 45% of them oppose company efforts to regulate social media use at work, indicating that they view personal social media as completely separate from the office, according to the survey results.
