Social Media Policies – Agency Managed and Personal Social Media Accounts
You are a group of Human Resources consultants. A social impact (nonprofit) organization that provides social work services to clients is considering hiring you to deliver training for a group of aspiring supervisors, but first, they want to see a work product that you have developed. In this case, the product is a report that you have published. For this assignment, you will develop a report
The total length for the report is not to exceed 8 pages, single-spaced. Margins must be no smaller than 1 inch, and font no smaller than 11 points, spaced normally. You can, but are not required to, include graphics to reinforce concepts.
There are 5 sections, and I have suggested a length for each section, but those are not “hard and fast” page limit rules:
**For the purposes of this assignment, do not consider crisis chatlines or crisis textlines as social media. Those will have vastly different policies and procedures.**
Include a reference sheet at the end. **At least 2 references must be recent (no more than 5 years old) and come from scholarly publications OR you can include examples from organizations that have social media policies. This means you will need to do a little research on the topic. We have a fabulous social work librarian, Darlene Nichols dpn@umich.edu who can help if needed.
This resource is not sufficient, but I have included it because I hope it will help you get started to think about some of the complexities of this topic. “I Thought We Were Friends!” Can Nonprofits Terminate Employees for _Their Social Media Posts_ – Non Profit News For Nonprofit Organizations _ Nonprofit Quarterly.pdf
