In other words: When in
doubt, don’t. Once it’s out there, it’s out there forever.
It’s truly better to be safe than sorry.
Trust your gut

access. Don’t do it. And make sure your managers don’t either.

As much as management would like to control social media, the reality is: They can’t.
Here are a few tips for management in particular…

Don’t prohibit disparaging comments …about supervisors, compensation, workplace or other working conditions.
Limiting employees’ statements on social media opens the door to claims under the National Labor Relations Act.

“More companies are discovering that an über-connected workplace is not just about implementing a new set of tools — it is also about embracing a cultural shift to create an open environment where employees are encouraged to share, innovate and collaborate virtually.” – Willyerd & Meister, HarvardBusiness.org

Establish account ownership provisions.
When employees manage your social media profiles, they should not create user names that include an individual employee’s name.
Passwords should be shared with a few key individuals only.

Incorporate any new legal standards or developments in your organization’s social media policies regularly.
Build in ways to systematically educate your employees and managers
on social media “dos and don’ts.”
Review your social media policy annually.

Consult your legal counsel before taking any legal action based on social media activity.
In many cases, “inaction” may carry less of a risk than taking action.
