Social Networking at Work

A survey of more than 4,000 UK businesses from Reed looking at social networking in the workplace.

Some interesting numbers in here, not least that more than 30% admitted to not having any kind of social networking policy in place. The question that would have been interesting to ask is what percentage of employees are *encouraged* to use social networks at work? Those areas - from recruitment and customer services to Ideation, business networking and product/service advocacy - are a massive opportunity for value creation in organisations. If 1/3 don’t even have a policy, how many have a business-use strategy?
