When considering a new hire, potential investor, or scouting for a business partner does your due diligence investigation include social media searches? How about once that person is integrated into your business—do you continue to scope out their online activities? Imagine logging onto Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter and seeing an image of your employee using drugs. How would that reflect upon your business? Now imagine finding posts from an employee to a new investor; what might that employee be sharing? The possibilities are endless.
