Years ago, it used to be a company’s website presence or absence was the indicator of how progressive and forward-thinking they were. Now, every company serious about doing business has a website. I’d venture to say that companies design their websites before they think about brochures.
Today, the new litmus test is social media. The scales are tipping against companies who block all forms of social media. In fact, according to new research by SilkRoad technology, companies can ban social media all they want but it doesn’t stop employees from using it.
What I found interesting is what employees said they use social media for: connections. Whether it’s connecting with co-workers or customers, using social media to build relationships is important.
