I was working on social computing guidelines. I have several examples from IBM, Intel, and others. Its interesting but not surprising that they take a company-centric approach.
Equally important is for employees not to use their company resources for personal business. Maybe it falls under a privacy policy I have yet to find, but there should be wording that protects employees when using corporate resources.
My team and I are building a remote access infrastructure that proves as useful for work as for personal time. Here's the thinking:
If we build an infrastructure for work only it will assume employer-owned equipment. However, if we build an infrastructure for Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) then we can accommodate both personal and professional on the same device. Such a binary system demands either modifying every device to allow both personal and professional or build a corporate infrastructure to accommodate both.
Why try to accommodate both?
In many corporate environments its increasingly hard to keep new technologies at bay. I like IT staying ahead of the curve, implementing technologies and configurations that account for the broadest audience.
How does that work?
If you're company has a BYOD program or one that has personal devices, build an infrastructure that encourages connecting to the corporate infrastructure.
