Twitter is More Beneficial to HR Than You May Think
Social media platforms have become increasingly popular among businesses for hiring purposes. Widely used social networks have also contributed to companies’ revising their privacy policies to include guidelines for professional use of these networking sites in employee handbooks and company rules and guidelines.

Those who fail to do so will be charged an extra $50 per month in health insurance premiums.
