Social Media Policy

From personal blogs to sites like Facebook, Google+, and LinkedIn, the use of social media is growing rapidly. And whether your organization actively uses social media or not, your employees probably are.

While you can't control how employees use social media outside the workplace, you should provide clear guidelines for acceptable behavior--as it pertains to the organization. TechRepublic's sample "Social Media Policy" can help you craft a policy that balances the company's need for security and consistency of public communication with each employee's right to personal expression. Simply copy the text from the zipped PDF into your favorite word processor and customize it to fit your organization's needs.
