20% of Employers Have Online Personal Presentation Rules.

Policies regarding behavior at work can influence choices made in one’s personal online life. At the moment, one in five working North American adults (20%) say their place of employment has a specific policy about how employees present themselves online, including what can be shared and posted on blogs and other websites.

This means that if you say something a little off-color today, or something that’s a tad controversial, it may cost you your job. And let’s not forget… it may cost you tomorrow’s job as well - remember the content online is for all intents and purposes… for ever!

See… ignorance is NOT bliss. It’s expensive.

    Do you have a reference for this James? I’d like to read the original. I’d also like to see some examples on how these policies read.

    Thanks…Kevin
