title: Employees and Social Media. Is it time to take off the gag?
scene: Coffee.
#0404: Why would you have a social media policy that explicitly allows people to say whatever they like about your company?
#7733: Simple. It simultaneously helps us identify disgruntled employees and discourages competitors with more rigid policies from poaching them before we can address the issues.
#0404: Aren't you worried about some psycho taking things too far?
#7733: Not really. How many friends is someone like that likely to have?
Caption: Social media can help with both engagement and retention ... if you're brave enough.
