Prevent discrimination by forbidding employer use of social media posts, comments and content out of working hours.
The work life balance is already difficult enough to achieve without prohibiting how an individual employee (I like to call them people) can express themselves outside of working hours, in their personal lives.
Companies that enforce strict 'personal' social media policies should be prevented from doing so.
Regardless of content published and whether or not a profile owner has labeled themselves as an employee with a specific company. The individual is entitled to a life free from company rules, guidance and policy.
Companies and employers can find objection in most everything thesedays and by allowing such policies not only are you allowing companies to effectively say what is acceptable behaviour for a person off the clock but also creating an opportunity where significant stress and unemployment can occur.
It is an overeach by companies that should be stopped immediately.
