I was planning for a Memorial Day, warm weather topic on appropriate work attire. I guess that will have to wait. sigh. Here is another topic that I hope can stimulate our conversation.
Our students have been immersed in social media for much of their lives. Often this can bleed into their jobs as student employees. What sort of issues have you dealt with regarding student employees and social media? Do you have any work rules that prohibit texting, surfing the Internet, or accessing Facebook during work hours? Have student conflicts arisen in the workplace that are the result of social media use away from work? If so, how did you deal with this? If your department has developed a written policy regarding social media, has this helped your student workers stay more focused on their job duties?
Please share your experiences in this area.
