Social Media Policy Template
Social media is powerful, but it is also dangerous. When you want to delegate the use of social media to your team - whether an employee or a contractor - you need a social media policy to regulate what they post and what happens when things go wrong.

As an organisation with a team (whether you have employees or contractors), it is important to have rules, practices and procedures in place around your social media presence.
This social media policy is designed to put those rules in place to let your team members know what is expected of them, not only in using your company pages but in their private social media pages where they mention the business or colleagues or clients.
This policy covers:
The purpose of the policy - how it interacts with business and personal social media profiles;
Key responsibilities of team members, not only posting but also liking, sharing or not deleting social media content upon request;
Workplace behaviour and bullying through social media;
Personal use of social media;
Security considerations relating to social media and your business; and
Other prohibited conduct including the inappropriate use of social media, breaking laws using social media and more.
A must-have for your business to provide to all team members and those that manage your social media.
