Social Media Policy - Hot bed of issues

3959635

Can anyone share what their policies are for using or rather not using social media while at work?

Also do any of your employees, like marketing, who should as a requirement of their job use social media - what types of policies do you have for them.

Does Anyone have protocols for what employess should post or say about the company on-line??? Twitter, Facebook, My space, Blogging etc.

Would appreciate in put.

If you have policies and can share - please email me at [email]llerche@duperon.com[/email]

Thanks

I've talked about developing a policy, but no one else seems to really care about it. I'm the only one with any interest in using social media for work purposes (including our marketing manager), and our internet is already pretty well locked down for non-work purposes.

I'm pretty sure there's a little good and a little bad being said about us on Facebook, etc., but I'm not going to get hung up on it until an employee brings something specific to my attention. And oh, they will.

If you do a Google you will find more information than you want.

Just don't model yours after the City of Bozeman.

HR Hero will present two audio conferences on social media in the next month or so. New Online Apps for Recruiting: Going Beyond Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin to Find Talent is scheduled for February 2. New Workplace Crisis Management: Using Social Media to Control Chaos and is scheduled for February 28. Also, HR Hero has a sample Internet and computer use policy that you may be able to adapt to your needs.

For HRLaws subscribers, there is a sample policy for Social Media that can be found by clicking on the “policies” tab. It is in the section on employment.

But I don't want to Control Chaos... I want to figure out how to burn it for fuel!
