Communications, media and social media policy
Governs who may speak for the organisation, and what everyone else may say.
Governs who may speak for the organisation, and what everyone else may say.
Name the authorised spokespersons and the escalation route for media enquiries; separate official channels from personal accounts; set rules on confidential information, client identification and sub judice matters; deal with endorsements and paid content disclosure; and state the review and approval path for published material.
The clause that matters is the personal-account clause, and it must be proportionate: an employer may regulate speech that identifies the employer or discloses its information, but a policy reaching into private expression generally will not survive a challenge. Draft to the connection with the workplace, not to the sentiment.
