What are the key considerations in designing a social media
policy?
Some key considerations that should be taken into account when
designing a social media policy are; what time goal of the
policy is, what other policies are already in place, and what are
the applicable legal regulations.
What are the primary challenges and risks when formalizing a
social media policy?
For my current organization, one of the primary challenges is
that we are public employees. “A public employee may not be
fired or disciplined for engaging in “constitutionally protected”
speech” (Johnson, 2019). Another challenge that an
organization faces when formalizing a social media policy is
making sure the policy is clear and specific but doesn’t limit an
employee’s right talk about conditions of employment.
Who should be involved in the design and review of the final
policy?
“Successful policy creation and/ or modification result from a
collaborative, team effort. If records and information
management personnel are developing the policy, they should
elicit input into policy development from other stakeholder
groups, including, but not limited to, Human Resources,
Information Technology, Legal, and Marketing” (Keys for
