A BIT OF GUIDANCE ON SOCIAL MEDIA POLICIESPosted by Steve Cocheo in Social Media Banks New Frontier |

A few tips on employee social media policies, in response to reader questions
For members of ABA, some help is available from Denyette DePierro, senior counsel in the ABA Office of Regulatory Policy. DePierro has been working on compliance and related issues in the social media area for the association. She is working on an ABA-member "ABAWorks" on social media, for future publication. DePierro says she has some sample social media policies from companies she's dealt with and is willing to share them with ABA members. ABA members can reach her at ddpierr@aba.com
For everyone, one website that DePierro has found helpful is Social Media Governance. This website provides access to more than 100 social media policies compiled by its operator, Chris Boudreaux. In addition to providing the policies, Boudreaux also blogs on his site about social media. His Aug. 1 blog gives an interesting take on a recent study by Manpower about employers and social media policies and practices.
"I created SocialMediaGovernance.com to provide tools and resources for leaders and managers who want to get the most from their social media and social application investments," Boudreaux comments, on the site.
Among the helpful e-letters we've found for keeping up with many aspects of social media is SmartBrief on Social Media. This daily e-letter, a digest of online resources, drawn from and linking to many blogs, websites, reports, and more, is free. You can view a sample copy and sign up for it here.
In a book we've been reading, for a future review—The Zen of Social Media Marketing: An Easier Way to Build Credibility, Generate Buzz, and Increase Revenue, by Shama Hyder Kabani—the eighth chapter contains a good, general discussion of ten points on "Creating a Social Media Policy for Your Organization."

Since we published "Making social media policy stick" in the July 2010 edition, we've received e-mails from ABA Banking Journal and ababj.com readers asking if we have employee social media policies that we can share with them. We haven't actually received any from readers willing to share, but we've still got some sources for you.
