A typical policy addresses risk management, intellectual property protection, individual privacy protection, and the respect of your audience, company, and fellow employees. Given the rapidly changing world of social media, you’ll have to keep your policy flexible and update it often.
Try to incorporate the following suggested concepts, adapted from Hootsuite (https://blog.hootsuite.com/social-media-policy-for-employees
):
Hold individuals responsible for what they write.
Be transparent. Disclose who you are, including your company name and title.
Recognize that clients, prospects, competitors, and potential future employees are part of your audience.
Be respectful of everyone.
