- Send out an all-company e-mail asking employees who may be engaging on behalf of the company in social media to make you aware of what they are doing and hold on their activity until a formal policy is created & sent around
It’s not enough to create the policy & e-mail it around and check the box- it needs to be rolled out to everyone.
