You knew it would hap­pen. An employee was gonna blow a gas­ket on Twitter.

So now you’re think­ing maybe this social media thing needs to be clamped down on. And just when it was start­ing to pay off too.

Well did you plan for when the implo­sion hap­pens? You’ve got a plan for work­place acci­dents, legal issues, and even bad PR.

Did you have a clear set of guide­lines for your employ­ees before they started talking?

Your employ­ees will make you look dumb and like you’re not in con­trol. But they used to do it with friends, cowork­ers, and some­times cus­tomers over drinks. But they do say 100 times more pos­i­tive things online. And now you it’s all on their per­ma­nent record and they should have a clear idea of the con­se­quences of their actions.

So you may as well keep it out in open rather than drive it under­ground. Because they’ve always been talk­ing about you and the com­pany any­way. Only now that word of mouth can be Googgled.
