Employee Guidelines: The Best and Worst Times to post on Social Media

By

Many social media experts have ‘scientifically’ studied social media usage patterns in an attempt to discern the best and worst time to post to social media with the goal of reaching the most people with their posts.

At MyPE we have developed a simple guide for use by employers and employees. This guide has been specifically crafted to detail expected high volumes of activity on Social Media at specific times during the working day.

We provide this handy guide for employers to distribute to employees highlighting the best times during the working day to post to social media.

These are the best and worst times per working day:
