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 😉
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.
