As social media use continues to overlap more fluidly between the personal sphere and the business world, more employers are writing dedicated social media polices, and many are also monitoring employee use of social media sites at work, according to a new survey.
The data comes from Proskauer Rose’s second annual “Social Media in the Workplace Around the World 2.0″ report. In 2012, 68.9 percent of employers said they’ve created policies specifically for social media use, compared with 55.1 percent in 2011. Among the nearly 250 multinational businesses surveyed in the past two years, social media monitoring by employers increased from 27.4 percent to 35.8 percent in the last year.
