About 3 years ago, I removed access to Facebook within the company. I did that before we even had Facebook Page for our brand. Now, access is limited to certain employees primarily the ones involved in marketing and social media. I also installed 3 computers in the cafeteria for all staff to use during breaks. Those computers have full access to many sites including Youtube, Facebook and Twitter.
With all that, I still see employees using their mobile smart phones to socialize. As we know, those social sites all have apps available and limiting access is nearly impossible.
Today one of my employees posted this image and it made me think a little. Should I work with employees who have a great influence within their social network? I mean they are active on Facebook and their friends are engaging with everything they post. Should I look at it as a positive initiative?
I guess with time, I will find out how this will work out.
