Whether you’re a corporation, news organization, non-profit or government agency, it’s a good idea to head off any potential problems or conflicts of interest, real or perceived, by establishing a set of Social Media policies and guidelines to protect yourself, your business and your employees.
SocialMedia.biz published a list of very helpful guidelines along with a Social Media Toolkit courtesy of the Social Media Business Council to help you navigate these tricky waters. They also published a list of actual Social Media corporate guidelines from companies such as IBM, SUN, Netflix, Porter Novelli, General Motors and others.
It has become very important to be well informed about social media policies and guidelines to protect our business and our employees. If the policies and Social Media Toolkit courtesy can really help us stay away from troubles or prevent one we should be well educated on this subject matter.
