Elements of an Effective Social Media Policy - Steve Bruce via HR Daily Advisor

Creating a policy about blogging and social networking offers a chance to minimize the risks for employers, says attorney Thomas Deer. It makes employees aware of their employers’ position on the use of social media, and it provides a reference point if it is necessary to take adverse action against someone for their online activity.

When preparing policies to deal with blogging, employers should be cautious about not going “too far,” Deer says. The NLRA can be a tripwire for the unwary. For example, a policy prohibiting employees from saying “anything negative” about their employer would clearly run afoul of the NLRB since this type of discussion is at the core of the right to form unions or engage in concerted activity.
