Should companies spy on their employees on social media?

You probably should know who you are employing of cause you wouldn't want someone who will tarnish the image of your brand or cause you to face possible law suits cause of their social media life

Spy? I won't say that is necessary. But they have the right to tell an employee to take down a social media post that, maybe, the manager of the company runs into and it is not reflective of the values of the organisation.

Actually it is not important and necessary for companies to spy on the activities of their employees. Every staff has their private lives and should be allowed...

I think that it is a invasion of privacy if a company spies on it's employees social media. It is plain wrong.

The companies are paying the employee a salary, so they have the right to spy. So it is better not to post much on social media.

 

[stan358]

Companies should not invade the privacy of their employees without any permission. Rather there should be other ways to get information from them..

Yeah especially for those with questionable character. if such person is in the office then oke can spy on them

 

[Starmix]

It seems not necessary because most people now are social media members and an employee doing malicious activities will be caught.

 

[cherry123]

This should be mostly for new hires. No need for those that are already in the company to avoid provocation

 

[Hate2Wait]

This is not a good idea and will put me off because after companies working hours I am free to do whatever I want

I really do not think it's necessary to spy on one's employees on social media because it's their private life. Although, one can go through their social media page from time to time to see if they posted anything that will spoil the image of the business.

A staff that is under a company can't go about posting stuff that negates the values of the company they work for on social media.
