Should employers monitor employee social media activity?

A post made outside working hours can still create a workplace problem.

But does that mean employers should be watching?

In the latest issue of Pulse Life, we explore one of the messier questions in modern work: where does personal expression end and professional responsibility begin?

Businesses have a legitimate interest in protecting their reputation.

Employees also deserve privacy and autonomy away from work.

The issue is not always whether an employer can monitor public social media activity.

It is whether they should, how far they should go, and whether the process creates trust or quietly destroys it.

Clear policies beat secret surveillance.

Transparency beats assumptions.

Beyond the Boardroom, the beach reads CEOs cannot put down

The best leaders do not spend every minute trying to optimise themselves.

Sometimes they read a novel. Sometimes they pick up a biography. Sometimes they step away from the inbox long enough to let a new idea land.

In the latest issue of Pulse Life, we look at the beach reads CEOs and founders turn to when they need perspective beyond the boardroom.

From Thinking, Fast and Slow to Project Hail Mary, the common thread is not business strategy.

It is curiosity.

Because good leadership is not built by staying inside your industry’s echo chamber. It is built by thinking widely, reading deeply and allowing your mind to wander somewhere new.
