In my public relations class we recently discussed the use of privacy settings on your Facebook account as well other social networking or profile sites. My teacher agreed that you should not have information posted on the internet that you aren’t comfortable with everyone knowing or seeing. My teacher also stressed the importance of maintaining a professional online presence, which focuses on maintaing what you place online, rather then hiding it, using it as a tool to present yourself as a potential employee or knowledgeable person. I also agree with allowing your employees to utilize social media. Employees that have positive things to say about your company can be great for business, while having a policy against employee blogging could definitely raise a few questions. Some companies have even gone a step further and are offering social media training to their employees, allowing them to become knowledgeable about how to handle certain social media situations.
