Social media use in the workplace continues to increase. According to an August 2012 national corporate survey, 75 percent of employees access social media on the job from their workplace computers or personal mobile devices at least once a day. Their primary purpose for using social media at work is to connect with other employees and online friends. With so many employees using social media in the workplace, it should come as no surprise that employers are increasingly disciplining employees for their social media activity. A 2010 Proofpoint survey revealed that at least 20 percent of companies had disciplined an employee for social media activity. Due to the widespread expansion of workplace social media use over the past three years, that number has undoubtedly increased.
