Infographic: Do Employers Really “Like” Social Media?

Coca-Cola has more fans on Facebook than the White House and everyone from the neighbourhood cupcake shop to the Dalai Lama is on Twitter, but do employers really “like” social media?

A recent infographic from PayScale found that although though companies “like” social media for brand promotion, they are much less enthusiastic when it comes to employee use.
