County Adopts Social Media Policy

Item: Not-so social: Kootenai County commissioners adopt new online policy/Jeff Selle, Coeur d'Alene Press

More Info: He said Commissioner Nelson noticed the lack of a social media policy because she had one at her last place of employment. "Jai said Sacred Heart (Hospital) had one when she was there," Tondee said. "We had some discussions about that and discovered that the sheriff's office had a policy, so we adapted that to fit our needs." Nelson did not respond to requests for an interview on Thursday. Tondee said commissioners have no intent to "silence" county employees, but they needed a way to deal with employees who may use their position within the county to cause harm online.

Question: Does you workplace have a social media policy?
