In a post I did last September I stated, “It is only good management to deploy a social web policy that clearly lays out what is and isn’t permissible when employees are presenting themselves as representatives of your organization.” But how to go about creating that policy? What should it cover? Is there somewhere I can go for guidance?

Good News

The Agents Council for Technology (ACT) has just released “Creating a Social Web Policy for Your Independent Agency & Sample Agency Policies.” As the intro states, “This new ACT resource will assist you in developing the social web policy for your employees’ permissible use of social media for business purposes, so that you protect your agency and maintain the productivity of your employees.”

In addition to the policy guide they have also included two samples of guides being used by agencies.

Really, this will be a valuable resource for any agency wanting to create a social web policy.
