When asked what their most valuable asset is, many organizations will say it's their employees. They are the lifeblood of its success and the front-facing view to clients and customers. However, when it comes to social media, if not trained properly these individuals can un-intentionally be hurting the organization with their activities - especially if you are in a regulated industry like banking or healthcare.
