More employees and managers are finding it acceptable to connect with co-workers on social media, according to a survey by Office Team.
A spokesperson says employees are more inclined to reach out online, while managers are a bit more resistant.
Koula Vasilopoulus says most managers want to maintain equality with their staff.
“From a managerial standpoint, if you’re going to connect with one, you’d better be prepared to connect with all,” Vasilopoulus notes, adding that coworkers tend to friend or follow each other’s accounts on a more social level.
She says bosses have tended to shy away in order to maintain a professional image, but the trend is slowly changing. (File Photo)
