  1. Hello, thanks for these interesting datas.
    Just one question: on which pannels are they based ? Are they regional or worldwide ?
    My concern for instance is about :
    Employees use outside of work:
    *
    75% use Facebook
    *
    75% use LinkedIn
    *
    45% use YouTube
    *
    35% use Wikis
    *
    32% use Blogs
    while there are “only” 200 million Facebook users, which would roughly make a total of 270 employees worldwide 😉

  2. I have no further details on the study and apparently the full results will be released by Watson Wyatt in a month or so and I will report the findings when they are released.
