Monitoring Communications on Employee-Provided Devices - Whose Message Is It Anyway

 
It is becoming clear that there are some items that are often included in an employer’s social media policy that they think are smart and important to include. However, they are simply impermissible and are not effective and can often through off the effectiveness of the overall policy. There are things to keep in mind to avoid when creating your policy.
