Does your company have a social media policy for employees?
I recently started working social for a fairly large (2-3k employees) company.
Recently we had an issue where someone went on a public forum that wasn't really SoMe, and said something that could hurt the company. The thing is, if they had used some random username like "GoTigers" nobody here would have really cared. But his username could very easily be tied back to him if anyone took the time to look into it.
Now obviously neither I, nor the company, wants to or has any right to hinder his free speech. Having said that, I think it's fairly common for large companies to require their employees to act with a certain level of decorum when speaking in a public forum. Particularly when speaking about a topic that is related to their job.
Right now we have a policy that is vague and basically amounts to "use your best judgement". I'm just wondering, has anyone else come up against this type of issue? How did you handle it? What kind of guidelines does your companies policy lay out?
Thanks!
