Chris, thanks for the fantastic link. I look forward to seeing your book.

I think an analysis table is in order to do some comparison and best practices analysis. I’d like to see common elements across the different policies and any unique elements that organizations may want to include in theirs. This is a great start. Hope to help you grow this further.

I don’t have any specific examples but would love to hear from you if you find some. You’re definitely going into the unknown at this point. I presume that most companies, particularly in your field have non-disclosure statement and policies. Social media is simply another medium for communication. An employee shouldn’t post something online just as they wouldn’t publish an ad in the local newspaper containing the same information.

Carmen,
Much late reply but regarding the blur between public and private personas, I think having a separate account for multiple purposes CAN defeat the purpose of social media to connect. When business and SOME personal combine, you truly know the person, rather than some professional persona that they reveal.

There are a lot of issues that some people may not be aware of when they worry about companies horning in on people’s personal lives. In some cases, companies HAVE to be concerned about those things. For example, I work in a highly regulated industry. We could face huge fines if one of our employees uses the wrong words in an online listing or even inadvertently projects the wrong image in a blog. So it’s not as simple as just worrying about people’s personas… Does anyone have examples of policies of companies in the securities industry? It would help me as I try to ensure that our company is fair as we revise our guidelines…

Daniel:

Thanks so much for your guidance and the well-chosen links. In certain fields, pharmaceutical and health care arenas, for example, I think you’re right that employers will take a more conservative approach. They have too, as they are governed by lots of regulations designed to protect the patients they serve.

As for Adriel’s comments about blurred lines between public and private personas, most people will likely begin to create multiple accounts on social media sites to separate their career facades from their private identities. Then the demarcation between them is distinct and the differing rules apply.
