With the increasing prominence of social media in our everyday lives, it’s of no surprise that social media is significantly impacting day-to-day business operations, as well as workplace relations. The key question is: How can employers effectively manage their social media risks?

Whether an organisation embraces social media, or tries to ignore it, the one thing that is certain is that it is only a matter of time before social media will impact your business. As an employer you need to understand the potential risks to your business posed by social media, carefully consider potential consequences, and take steps to manage these risks.

This eBook is designed to help employers understand and manage their social media risks. It provides examples of potential risks with suggested responses and, importantly, explains why a social media policy will only be effective if it is part of a coordinated and properly documented human resources and general management strategy.
