Policies should guide, not frighten employees

Monitor, listen and guide as needed.

Give your employees room to experiment.

Why should you have a separate policy for social media from the usual employee code of conduct?
Social media platforms have mostly been created for personal use and people tend to forget that online the lines of personal and professional life get blurred.

Who are the employees that need to be made aware of social media policies?
All of them!

Who owns a branded social account if an employee started it or has a strong personal brand association to it.
There should be clarity in your policy about who can create ‘branded’ social media accounts and who ultimately owns them.

Monitor regulators: NLRB, FDA, FTC, SEC, FINRA & other industry specific regulators

• Look at other company policies for guidance but don’t assume they are appropriate for your business.
• Monitor social media about and from your company.
• Clarify ‘who owns’ any company branded social media accounts.
• Clarify the company messaging on company/branded social media accounts.
• Revisit and update your policy as needed. It should be a living document.
