The article argues against employers controlling employees' personal LinkedIn accounts, characterizing such control as infantilising and ultimately counterproductive. The author suggests that companies should focus on clear communication of expectations regarding online conduct instead of bans or restrictions, specifically addressing issues like defamation and confidentiality in employment contracts. The piece also highlights the potential for missed opportunities if employees are discouraged from using LinkedIn, and emphasizes the importance of providing internal channels for addressing employee concerns before they escalate to social media. Finally, the author advocates for addressing individual misuse of LinkedIn rather than imposing blanket restrictions on all employees.
