Guidelines
Incept is leading innovations in the use of social media platforms to increase internal
communication. We use many tools to do this, but the primary outlets that we utilize are
Facebook and our company blog. Accordingly, this policy is intended to assure that the
use of Social Media by employees, both during and outside work, is consistent with
Inceptʼs values and commitment to customers, as well as its legal and ethical
responsibility to protect its own confidential information and that of its customers and
employees.
This policy does not apply to, nor is it intended to interfere with, acceptable posts on
personal pages, profiles and walls or blogs that do not relate to Incept and confidential
information over which Incept has no duty to monitor or control.
Incept recognizes the value and utility of social media and encourages employees to
engage appropriately in such forums. Accordingly, Incept provides a station from which
employees may access social media for personal use before or after work or during
break periods. Unless doing so is part of your job description, employees should not
access social media, either from company computers or via personal devices, during
working time.
Employees may not create a social media site, profile or blog that appears to represent
Incept, nor may an employee post content that appears to speak on behalf of Incept
without obtaining prior, express, written authorization.
Users of social media should have no expectation of privacy with respect to content they
enter, create, transmit, forward or keep on their own pages, profiles, walls, blogs, or
those of others. Incept, customers, co-workers, or the public may view social media
content, even if the content occurs outside of or is done during non-working time.
Users of social media are responsible for the content of all their sites, profiles, posts and
blogs. If Incept receives a report, or if it discovers a social media site, profile, post or
blog that, in Inceptʼs sole discretion, contains unacceptable content, it may require the
employee to remove the unacceptable content immediately.
Examples of Unacceptable Content
• Uses Inceptʼs name, logo or other Company identifier in a manner that would
make it appear that the user is acting or speaking as an authorized agent of
Company, without prior, express written authorization.
• Contains critical or disparaging comments that could erode customer and public
confidence, erode good will, and damage Inceptʼs reputation.
Reporting
Employees and other persons who are aware of unacceptable content should report to
the director of human resources, without fear of retaliation.
Employees who do not use social media consistent with this Policy, including those who
do not remove unacceptable content immediately, may be subject to disciplinary action,
up to and including immediate discharge.
