Helping the financial industry adopt social networking
Linked-In
How are firms handling Linked-In?
Do you allow use for business?
Do you monitor and/or approve pages?
Do you have push back from employees saying they only use Linked-In personally - not for business? Does it matter?
I'm at a point where I am working on a Social Media policy and Linked-In seems like the best place to start. I know FINRA has made certain comments about how they view Linked-In, but I just wanted to get a sense of what others are doing.
Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

Generally firms seem to be allowing LinkedIn provided employees are following compliance standards.
We published primer document titled "A Guide to LinkedIn Social Networking Compliance" which might be a great starting point for you.

Many firms have an open policy on Linkedin that I have been able to penetrate.
Not only do they not monitor or approve pages many IT/Security departments do even know they have a page until they have been compromised.
If they are representing their company on their linkedin page then the company should treat that user as an internal account in my opinion. (Of course it depends on the corp policy)

How many of your linkedin users are real or fake? Does your company verify the people representing their company?
