Developing an acceptable use policy
![Page 19: Making social media work for you February 2011](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555abd5cd8b42a761a8b46c7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Developing an acceptable use policy 1 of 4
Start by expanding your company's existing acceptable use policies governing email and web communications.Clearly specify what is acceptable and what is inappropriate to post to social media sites.State what can be posted during business hours and outside of business hours (if indeed there is any difference). Where there is no differentiation, clearly state this in the policy.Let employees know that messages posted to social media sites will be monitored-this is vital.
![Page 20: Making social media work for you February 2011](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555abd5cd8b42a761a8b46c7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Developing an acceptable use policy 2 of 4
Review all privacy settings on social media sites that contain your corporate profile. Educate staff about privacy settings too. Opting for minimal settings can expose your network to malware directed at popular social media sites.Consider developing multiple Acceptable Use Policies (AUPs) for globally distributed staff, to cater for the laws of different countries.Once you have taken these first steps, technology then can be used to remind employees of their responsibilities to protect company reputation and information. Rulesets within your email and web content management can then be used to enforce the social media AUPs.

Developing an acceptable use policy 3 of 4
CONTENT FILTERSPreventing the posting of inappropriate language or brand names to social media sites.Preventing inappropriate images from being postedBlocking of incoming or outgoing file types over social media (e.g. Excel spreadsheets and databases).Blocking access to dangerous websites, such as gambling sites, that are known to be hosting malware.Dividing websites into work-related and non work-related sites, to track usage.Dividing social media access by job description, to manage non work-related usage.

Page 22
Developing an acceptable use policy 4 of 4
CONTENT FILTERSApplying granular social media controls, such as read only rules on the corporate Facebook account, depending on employees' roles. Look for granular social network controls that can be set by network.Enforce AUP by allowing timed access to social media sites during working hours to maintain productivity and to non-work related sites and webmail during lunch breaks, before 9am and after 5pm.Limit the installation of plug-ins such as games on social network sites, as these can impact productivity and network security.

Trends for 2011 1 of 3Gen Y women are far more cautious then Gen Y men when it comes to social media and work-related issues. Overall, only 31% of Canadian 15-34 year olds believe companies should allow employees to use social media at work. However, far more men support the idea than women. While only 26% of women agree companies should allow their employees to use social media at work, 36% of men agree. The figures for the UK are exactly the same as Canada for men and women. Despite there being greater support overall, almost the same pattern emerges in the USA, with men agreeing with the statement 8% more thanwomen.

Trends for 2011 2 of 3Women are using their offline support networks far more to discuss career matters than men. Young couples talk most about their work and careers both online (30%) and offline(63%). In contrast young parents talk least about their work both online (22%) and offline (51%).Gen Y singles, couples and young parents have on average around one quarter of their online social network made up of people from their workplace. In fact, the older end of Gen Y displayed attitudes that were far more open to mixing work and social media than their younger Gen Y counterparts.

Trends for 2011 3 of 3Generation Y are not half as supportive of social media as you might expect. High school students in Canada, the USA and the UK are the least supportive of allowing social media in the workplace –45% don’t think it should be allowed in Canada, 40% in the UK and 37% in the USA. Young parents in the three countries are far less dismissive - only 30% don’t think it should be allowed in the workplace in Canada, 28% in the UK and only 22% in the USA.
