Employers are increasingly monitoring and policing their workers’ social media activity, a trend reportedly accelerated by the death of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, according to a report by The Washington Post.
Experts cited in the report indicate that the aftermath of Kirk’s death has led to a heightened awareness among business leaders regarding the potential impact of employee online behavior on company reputation and operations.
This scrutiny extends to various aspects of employees’ digital lives, with companies looking closely at posts, likes, and shares that could be perceived as controversial or damaging to the brand.
The Washington Post’s findings suggest a growing trend where the lines between personal online expression and professional conduct are becoming increasingly blurred in the eyes of employers.
