One of the most common questions that comes up when I’m speaking with people about introducing social media in the workplace is how to manage it.
The below top tips are from Michael Specht who’s an HR and technology expert and owner of Inspecht.
There’s also a podcast you can view from Michael’s website but I thought I’d share the tips (basic but very important) here:
1. Have people stop and think before posting, both professionally and personally.
2. Focus people on thinking about what they are doing and the implications.
3. Highlight that while disclaimers are good, you cannot hide behind them.
4. Remind people to keep their online interactions real and authentic.
5. Ensure people respect the culture of the tools and services you are using.
