Whether your Company is active or not on Social Media, your employees probably are. Social media can bring many benefits to the workplace; increased collaboration, brand awareness, etc, but equally, because of its potential to reach mass audiences
instantly, the possibility for a serious incident to occur is very real. If employees are not officially using social media in the workplace they are almost certainly using it in a personal capacity. Sometimes personal use can overlap and blur with workplace
use, for example, employees may have both a work profile and a personal profile on Twitter, and if you ignore social media, how can you manage what is being said about issues relevant to the workplace?
The first step in managing social media is to have a policy. A social media policy is your initial line of defence to mitigate risk for both the Company and the individual. On the issue of Social Media, Acas, advises employers to draw up a policy, treat 'electronic behaviour' as you treat 'non-electronic behaviour' and react reasonably to issues around social media.
To promote best practice and avoid legal disputes, every employee should be provided with information regarding social media practices that the Company deem to be acceptable and unacceptable.
