Kubicki is quick to point out, though, that privacy or security concerns shouldn't prompt businesses to block Google+ just yet. It's important that employees "find a personal comfort level because the only way they're going to learn and the only way Google+ will get better is by people using it," he says. "You don't want people being too careful--wade in, don't jump in."

Kubicki also says that Google+ appears to be as safe as any other major platform, though he acknowledges that there will likely be glitches and patches in the future. But between a solid social media policy and proper employee training, he says, businesses should be able to navigate the growing popularity of Google+ smoothly.
