How do these employers encourage their employees to be social stewards? Provide readily accessible tools for employees to use in social media (55%) Provide messages about the employer for employees to use in social media (50%) Provide easy-to-understand guidelines to employees for using social media (42%) Ask employees to stay alert to social media postings about the employer (39%) Provide training for how to use social media properly (37%) Provide access to social media at work (35%) Provide updates about changes in social media so that employees can stay current on the latest tools and uses (35%) Provide employees with one or more social media accounts to use (13%)
