Policy for Social Media What If Scenarios


You have decided to open the social media arena to your employees but what if some just aren't ready? What if some abuse the opportunity?


Coming soon is a management companion piece to the Policy for Social Media manual and the Employee How To Guide called the Manager's How to and What If Guide. Here are a few of the situations that will be addressed in this valuable guide:


Manager’s “How to” and “What If” Guide for Social Media

· Employee wants to participate in social media as part of their job. How do you determine if they are a good candidate?

· An employee wants to participate in social media but they aren’t a good candidate; what do you do/say?

· How do you “listen” to what your employees are saying on social media; both on and off the job?

What if employee…


· Has a picture on their personal Facebook page of them wearing items with the company logo visible and they are doing something inappropriate?

· Is spending too much time on social media during the work day and it is effecting their overall work performance?

· Has “followers” on one or more of their accounts that leaves inappropriate messages?

· Leaves negative comments about the company or company products without a reasonable explanation?

· Offers status updates that are too casual or consistently don’t add value? (i.e. just poured a cup of coffee, having trouble staying focused, would rather be home/at the beach/golfing, etc.)

· Offers no sympathy to customers expressing concern?

· Isn’t responsive to comments/questions/complaints from followers?

· Uses images or uploads video that are too personal or not a professional representation of the company?

· Actively begins using social media to look for a job during working hours?

· Shares opinions not representative of the company?

· Provides false information – intentionally or not intentionally?

· Is making money from social media on company accounts during company hours?
