Travelers insurance cautioned businesses today that its polling showed a need for companies to develop and enforce employee policies for postings on social media like blogs, Twitter and Facebook.
"An employee could inadvertently post confidential information that could cause irreparable harm to a business. In addition, the speed and ease of publication to a wide audience makes it virtually impossible to remove the information once it is posted," warned, Kathy Swendsen, president of Travelers Global Technology.
Travelers Global Technology said an online survey found that 30 percent of adults polled believe it is acceptable to post work-related information on social media Web sites.
