Employers And Employees Divided Over The Value Of Social Media [SURVEY]

It might come as a bit of a surprise, but executives are much more bullish about social media than their employees.

A new survey reveals that 41 percent employers believe social networking helps to build and maintain their workplace culture, while only 21 percent of employees felt the same.

Deloitte‘s “Core Beliefs and Culture” survey asked 1005 employees and 303 employers in the United States about their core workplace beliefs, culture and business strategy.

Nearly half (45 percent) of employers believe that social media has a positive impact on workplace culture, and only 27 percent of employees think it’s a positive force.
