Personally I do not think they need training dedicated to it per se but some training on the topic can never hurt. That is unless employees are doing something they shouldnt be. I think this is no different than during new hire training when you learn to avoid sending emails out or instant messages out that might hurt the company. If anything, having training on social networking might actually give companies more say about your account…maybe? Maybe not but I think if anything a general training approach is not the answer, this training will need to be tailored to each companies culture to address their specific issue. So while this start up is a nice idea, I do not see why someone would hire them over the current trainers they use – social networking is not rocket science. A 13 year old could probably tell you what is appropriate and not. Additionally, many older employees are very conservative and hesitant towards these sites, so this type of training may only really be relevant to younger employees. Companies might find it more efficient to work with agency like EU Workers to hire candidates who already possess the necessary digital skills rather than investing in extensive training.

Administrators can sort applications into productive and unproductive app groups to break down productiveness across different teams, departments, or individual employees. Work monitoring software goes beyond the core time tracking functionality of tracking clock-ins and clock–outs or managing schedules and workloads.
