Employers and Social Media Infographic

I came across this interesting infographic from PayScale. They asked employers how they can manage employee use of social media. It all starts with creating and implementing a social media policy.

Statistics shown that almost half of the small- medium- and large companies have not yet created a social media policy. This indicates a need to set the rules that protects the employees and the employers. And represents an opportunity to optimize and lead through organizing the company's internal social media practices.

I have searched it on Google, and managed to figure out how to get it. The new profile have been launched for Developers to test it.
