This article addresses some of the business costs associated for corporations due to the use of social media networks.
The article points out, "According to UK based research by commercial law firm DLA Piper, one in three businesses have been forced to undertake legal proceedings against employees because of defamatory, sensitive, or classified information about their organisation on a social media network."
In addition the article states, "The research also revealed just 25% of businesses have a tailored media policy, and less than half (43%) had a social media policy that was linked to their IT or HR policies."
The article further goes on to state, "In Australia, Fair Work has received many complaints arising from social media misuse, which Allan Drake-Brockman, head of workplace relations, employment and safety, said could have been avoided with up-to-date and comprehensive social media policies."
I am not surprised. I believe that many companies have never heard of social media policy.
