APPLICATION EXERCISE
One major issue regarding social media is the development of a company wide social media policy. In other words, a policy that states who can say what, when and where on social media platforms (e.g. Facebook, blogs, Twitter). Companies and nonprofit organizations alike are struggling with social media policies and we have seen an increase in the number of employees getting into trouble for things posted on their Facebook page. Take a look at Social Media Governance (http://socialmediagovernance.com/policies.php). Find a social media policy for a brand and one for a large nonprofit.
How do you think social media policies should extend to employees? Should what an employee posts on his or her Facebook be held against him or her regarding work life? Why or why not? Are there situations where firing an employee for private posting is fair?
