Social media is a fast and potentially dangerous world for businesses. You can say what you want online and it is there forever. So you should always be aware of not only what you say but in whos name you are saying it.
The use of social media sites by employees has become a very hot topic recently in the media so we asked Albert Keeshan from the HR dept to provide us with a sample social media policy. All companies need to be aware of how to use social media in connection with the company they own or work for.
You can download a sample policy using this link The policy explains the "DONTS" that staff need follow in order to protect the business from the glare of unwanted publicity or worse!
At Positive Computing we recommend that all companies take the following course of action.
-
Work with an HR professional such as the HR Dept to create a social media policy that suits their business
-
Book on a social media course run by experts such as Morgan PR to educate yourselves in how to use social media effectivly in business.
