Social media policies are on the minds of most business owners these days. After all, nearly everyone we know uses a Facebook account, and lots of people are blogging about their families or uploading videos from last weekend’s party to YouTube. So how do you protect your business when your staff are loose on the social web? The answer is not to lock down Internet access at work – after all, your employees can access Facebook right from their smart phones at their desks. Smart businesses have social media policies which govern the actions of employees in social media – whether on behalf of the company or while on their own time.
