Any Slip-Up on Social Media is Public so Be Careful: Risk Management
We all know our employees are using social media sites, but when can that become a risk? Unfortunately, all too often people, without considering the consequence, post photos or documents that shouldn’t be public to their profile or blog. Obviously, if you’re a public figure you understand the importance of maintaining your image, but even if you are a high school teacher, using social media to connect with students (for example) can pose large, unforeseeable risks.
Meritocracy can do a few things to help people who are in this situation. First, they can educate them about all of the potential risks. A public school teacher will have different risks than a doctor, and so it is important that the client is aware of everything. Also the capabilities these communities have evolve so quickly you may be up to date one month, and still behind the curve the next. If you need complete social media management, as opposed to training, Meritocracy can provide that also.
