Staff Handbook - Social Media Policy

This Social Media Policy has been drafted as a stand-alone policy to govern employees' usage of social media platforms while they are on the job. It is possible to use this in conjunction with the Communications, Email, and Internet Policy.

The alluring pull of making one more post, one more share, or one more like on social media can cause employees to lose hours of work time, which can be a significant drain on the resources available in the company.

On the other hand, social media can also be an effective marketing tool. It is gradually becoming a normal component of the marketing mix for many companies.

This policy accommodates both positions and can be used to allow limited personal use of social media at work or to ban it entirely.

Additionally, it addresses the work use of social media by providing detailed rules applicable to employees' representation of their employers on social networking sites. This policy can allow limited personal use of social media at work or ban it entirely.

This Social Media Policy addresses several important topics, including the following:

• Use of social media for personal purposes;

• Use of social media for business purposes;

• Acceptable use of social media;

• Use of social media that is both unacceptable and prohibited;

• Monitoring;

• Recruitment; and

• Misuse and compliance.

本社交媒体政策是作为一项独立的政策起草的，以管理雇员在工作期间对社交媒体平台的使用。此政策也可以与《通信、电子邮件和互联网政策》一起使用。

在社交媒体上多发一个帖子，多分享一个信息，或者多点一个赞，这种诱人的吸引力会使雇员失去几个小时的工作时间，这对公司的现有资源会造成很大的消耗。

这项政策兼顾了这两种立场，可以用来允许个人在工作中有限地使用社交媒体，或完全禁止它。

此外，它通过提供适用于雇员在社交网站上代表其雇主的详细规则来解决社交媒体的工作使用问题。这项政策可以允许个人在工作中有限地使用社交媒体，也可以完全禁止它。

• 可接受的社交媒体的使用；

• 不可接受的和被禁止的社交媒体的使用；

• 监测；
