Social Media Policy Template

Why You Need a Social Media Policy?
•You need a policy to protect yourself and your company
•Policy should recognise that we all use social media & social networks every
day
•Usually needs HR to set up a staff usage policy
•May need IT to allow access to Facebook & YouTube
•Can’t be open to using social media and then block staff from using it

The wording of this policy may not suit a large corporation, but its down to
earth and written in plain English for everyone else.


Draft Social Media Policy
1. We all use social media every day and that’s ok – from LinkedIn to Twitter
    to more traditional marketing and news sites but we are also here to work.
2. There are some things that its not ok to talk about – such as revenues,
    customer numbers and any other confidential information
3. We respect each others right to be a human being – anything that is
    discriminatory, abusive or threats of violence related to you or any other
    person is not acceptable
4. Being personal and open – don’t hide behind a fake name or attack
    customers or other brands. No astroturfing
5. Never bait, incite, flame or be abusive – using company accounts or even
    with your personal accounts that are linked to company
6. If you have a work related or professional website or blog, be clear that
    these are your opinions not the company’s view.
7. Never second guess or make future looking statements – like the feature
    roadmap for the next release.
8. Don’t create new social media accounts in the name of the company – but
    do share if you think a new account or network is cool.
9. Any doubts on this policy please ask [xxxx]
10. A serious breach of this policy is not something anyone wants to happen,
    so if you are ever unclear you must ask [xxxx]
11. HAVE FUN! Using social networks at work can be seriously damaging to
    your health
