What are your thoughts regarding policies that address non-work related social interactions? Specifically, have you seen/heard about an policies that address the loose coupling of personal and employee dialogues? My company asserts that almost all social media (personal included) can be tied back to the company and is therefore important that all published content be in the interest of the company. It would be great to hear what others have encountered.

Heh, I think we know why they struggle. Enterprise is all about protecting IP, not sharing, so it’s alien. It’s a mindset change too.

Jake,

Glad you enjoyed it! The two that you mentioned are huge. It seems like those are the two that most companies seem to struggle with for some reason, too.

Both of these made your list, so I’m feeling pretty good now
