As it turned out, more and more employers impose requirements for the behavior of employees in social networks and tighten the existing ones. Before the coronavirus pandemic, 47% of companies did not have such rules and prohibitions.
Now 4 out of 10 employers do not have such rules. Nearly one in four companies block access to social networks from their workplaces – 23%, in 2021 13% did so 5 years ago – 27%. It mainly concerns prohibitions, the disclosure of trade secrets, unethical behavior on the Web, and the dissemination of information that discredits the employer.
A survey among economically active citizens showed that 2% of respondents received comments from their employer about unrestricted behavior on social networks. Men are scolded more often than women – in 4% and 1% of cases. Russians with an income of 80,000 rubles per month or more are more likely to encounter comments about online behavior than those who earn less – 4%. At the same time, most economically active citizens have never had to report to employers about their activities on the Internet.
