While I promise Crystal is preparing a blog post on that and other topics for us to devour, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.web-strategist.com\/blog\/2007\/10\/02\/companies-employees-and-social-media-requires-trust\/\" title=\"Jeremiah Owyang's post\" target=\"_blank\">Jeremiah Owyang&#8217;s post today offered some advice on trust<\/a> and the employer\/employee relationship. I think it points out a simple, yet effective approach to social media\/social networking policy:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>1) Companies: Hire the right employees that have integrity, sound business judgment, and know how to communicate both internaly and externally<br \/>\n2) Companies: Trust in these employees to be your ambassadors to the world, give them the benefit of the doubt, and let them self-correct amongst themselves. I also advise instituting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.web-strategist.com\/blog\/2007\/05\/14\/web-strategy-the-air-traffic-tower-helps-to-keeps-you-relevant\/\">internal communication tools<\/a> to help them, and setting down basic guidelines\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6often created BY the employees.<br \/>\n3) Employees: Those out in the social sphere should act their best, demonstrate your ability, and try not to embarrass the company. If you do make a mistake, quickly apologize, correct the mistake. Always act in an ethical manner.<br \/>\n4) Social Sphere: That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s everyone else in the world, is to simply recognize the challenges as companies move forward in this new world.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jeremiah has long been a thought leader in the realm of social media and web strategy, but his ability to cut through the clutter and simplify an issue is why I read him.
