A #study of 7,704 #employees found that fully #remoteworkers reported the highest #wellbeing, followed by #hybrid and then #onsite workers. The study suggests that #remotework, with its associated #autonomy and #flexibility, contributes to higher well-being and lower turnover rates. The findings challenge the notion that in-person interaction is essential for employee connection and organisational commitment. https://www.colorado.edu/today/2026/08/12/remote-workers-report-highest-well-being-study-7700-employees?eicker.news #tech #news #ainews

Should Companies Audit What Employees Post on Social Media?

Dear Cherubs, every employee has a smartphone, a social media account, and, occasionally, the confidence to post something that makes the legal department reach for the aspirin. The question isn’t whether companies notice anymore. It’s whether they should actively monitor what relevant employees post online.

The answer, in many cases, is yes—but with boundaries.

WHO COUNTS?

Not every employee represents a company in the same way. The warehouse worker posting holiday photos isn’t in the same position as the CEO announcing “exciting news” before the stock market opens. A software engineer leaking confidential product details isn’t the same as someone sharing pictures of their dog wearing a tiny hat.

Roles matter. Executives, senior managers, public relations staff, salespeople, recruiters, customer service representatives, and anyone with access to sensitive information can significantly affect a company’s reputation or even its legal standing.

According to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, companies must ensure material information is disclosed fairly to investors. One careless post from a senior executive could create regulatory headaches and market confusion.

THE FINE LINE

Auditing social media shouldn’t mean turning into Big Brother with a Wi-Fi connection.

Employers generally have legitimate reasons to monitor public posts when they relate directly to company interests, such as confidential information, harassment, discrimination, threats, or conduct that damages the business. What employees discuss privately with friends or within lawful private spaces is a different matter and may be protected by employment laws or privacy legislation depending on the country.

That’s where many companies stumble. The goal isn’t to police opinions. It’s to manage risk.

A sensible social media audit focuses on business-related concerns rather than personal beliefs unrelated to work. Otherwise, the company risks becoming the story instead of preventing one.

COMMON SENSE WINS

According to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), many employers already include social media expectations in workplace policies. The best policies are surprisingly boring—and that’s a compliment.

They explain what confidential information is.

They remind employees not to imply they speak for the company unless authorised.

They encourage respectful online behaviour.

And they outline what happens if someone ignores those rules.

No mystery. No secret surveillance. Just expectations.

Training may actually be more valuable than monitoring. Many social media disasters aren’t malicious—they’re accidental. A frustrated employee vents after work. An enthusiastic executive posts too early. Someone shares a client story without realising confidentiality applies online just as much as it does in the office.

According to thisclaimer.com, digital reputation has become one of the fastest-moving business risks because online content spreads globally in minutes while apologies travel considerably slower.

The smartest companies therefore treat social media governance like cybersecurity: prevention first, enforcement second.

Ultimately, companies absolutely should pay attention to what relevant employees publicly post when those posts could affect customers, shareholders, confidential information or the organisation’s reputation. But auditing should never become blanket surveillance of employees’ personal lives.

Good governance protects both the company and its people. Bad governance simply creates another PR crisis waiting to trend.

Ibaraki Prefecture’s Plan On Giving Rewards For Reporting Illegal Foreign Workers To Take Effect On May 11

Even though controversy hounded it, the approved plan of Ibaraki Prefecture in Japan on rewarding those who report businesses hiring illegal foreign works will take effect on May 11, according to a news report by Kyodo News. Ibaraki Prefecture (population of around 2.9 million) is located northeast of Tokyo and it already has a high number of illegal foreign workers.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of Kyodo News Some parts in boldface…

A controversial plan to reward people who report businesses hiring illegal foreign workers will take effect May 11 in a prefecture northeast of Tokyo, the local government said Wednesday.

Ibaraki Prefecture, which, as of 2024, had the highest number of illegal foreign workers among the country’s 47 prefectures, will report such employers to police after verifying the information. It will offer 10,000 yen ($63) if a tip leads to a case being opened.

Reports will be limited to businesses hiring foreign workers unlawfully, and the prefecture plans to issue guidelines, including not basing reports solely on individuals’ appearance or nationality.

Reports can be filed through the prefectural website by providing personal information such as name, address and phone number, and must include a copy of identification, such as a driver’s license, the prefecture said.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think more local government units and prefectures in Japan should follow Ibaraki Prefecture’s policy on dealing with illegal foreign workers found being hired by businesses? Do you think such a policy will improve Japan’s way of removing illegal foreign workers and cleaning up the private sector from such people? Is Ibaraki Prefecture’s 10,000 Yen reward good enough? Do you think Ibaraki Prefecture should come up a new policy to punish foreigners who cause public disturbances?

Yesterday a #Federal judge barred parts of an insane illegal heavy handed and chilling childlike #DJT #ExecutiveOrder targeting exclusively employees and clients of a large influential #DC #beltway #lawfirm he doesn't like.

Known as #PerkinsCoie , the 100+ yr old firm
started in #Seattle and has long represented that region's top tech clients including #Amazon & #Microsoft etc, as well as many other #Fortune500 names .

The #RWNJ #HoiPolloi anger at the firm has to do with the fact #PerkinsCoie attorneys helped commission the embarrassing and disputed #SteeleDossier that included allegations against a failed NJ casino operator turned political candidate.who became President TWICE!

The far reaching petty #policestate and draconian #Drumpf overreach would've made it virtually impossible for #employees or any of the 1000+ #attorneys at the firm to do biz in #DC . The order barred firm partners from even speaking to #federalemployees, or to physically enter any govt #property including #courtrooms etc.

Scoop: House GOP targets Manhattan DA

1. In the short term, Republicans are discussing firing off letters #summoning #employees of the #Manhattan #DA’s office for #sworn #testimony, according to a GOP official familiar with the plans.
The potential request comes amid speculation about why the hush-money case was suddenly resurrected after being back-burnered by both state and federal prosecutors.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the plans are not final, noted that #McCarthy, a longtime Trump ally and close friend, is “fully supportive and pushing folks to be #aggressive here.”

2. Manhattan DA #ALVIN #BRAGG himself is in the GOP’s crosshairs, though it’s not clear if he’ll be immediately summoned.
“He should come testify before Congress,” Rep. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE (R-Ga.) told us and other reporters, launching into a lengthy tirade about “fake charges” meant to be “used in Democrat ads” against Trump.

(Note that Bragg told his employees over the weekend that he would “not tolerate attempts to intimidate our office or threaten the rule of law in New York.”)

Jordan didn’t answer questions about whether he’d subpoena Bragg. Even if he does, it’s almost impossible to imagine Bragg or his subordinates answering questions about an ongoing probe or prosecution
