ABSTRACT

Besides a stated policy, organizations should consider additional awareness and training measures to deal with the fact that large numbers of employees and contractors are active online, with social networking and other proles and activities. It is impossible and counterproductive to prevent employees and contractors from posting their employment details online. Recruiting, marketing, and a host of other business functions benet from the public face of the enterprise on the Internet. However, it is important to have the support of all insiders in protecting the organization from negative postings.
