Thanks Jeff,
We have trained hundreds of small business owners in rural and regional areas of Australia for the past few years and have guided each one through writing a social media policy. What we have discovered is that there is no such thing as common sense when it comes to social media. So I humbly disagree with the statement “that it is a lot common sense”, as what is common to you is not common to me. This is especially so when you blend generations in a workplace. Some communication techniques, styles and language differ greatly between generations and what is acceptable to some is considered offensive to others. So sitting down and having a team/staff meeting to formalise your social media policy is essential. It will allow everyone in the workplace to reach an understanding of what is sensible for the common voice of the business and is far more sensible than to suggest to use common sense.

Hi Jeff,

One way to get buy-in to the development of these policies is to outline where and how you can save money and reduce costs. I wrote some articles for the Klariti Small Business site here http://klariti.com/Social-Media-Policy-Templates/social-media-policy-marketing-guidelines.shtml.

I hope this isn’t too self-promotional as the tutorials may be of use to your colleagues.

Regards,

Ivan

Jeff, this is a great subject to cover! As a small business owner, I have many hats to wear and sometimes the most obvious things get the least followup so this is very enlightening to me and I agree with the importance as we address the growth of social media.

Hi Jeff, I am always amazed at businesses. They let their staff answer their phones, attend meetings representing the company, hand out business cards etc…but so often they then ban their members of staff from utilising Twitter etc..Staff should be encouraged to Tweet and companies should harness the value that this could give their business. But yes… they need guidance, support and training…
