Newly appointed vice president, Jean Young, to lead social media policy services.
Bethesda, MD (PRWEB) November 08, 2011
“Over 95 percent of organizations now participate in some form of social media; however research shows that only 25 percent of them actively address what their employees are sharing about their employer via social media channels,” said Barton Goldenberg, president and founder, ISM. “With the rapid pace of technology and policy changes, including the recent National Labor Relations Board rulings, companies that don’t implement and manage a social media policy are losing an opportunity to embrace the power of employees and are at risk for legal repercussions and brand damage.”
Webinar: Best Practices for Establishing a Social Media Policy
As part of its new offering, ISM will host a free webinar to address the importance and challenges of social media employee guidelines and offer best practices for implementing an effective Social Media Policy. Led by newly-appointed Vice President Jean Young and Kathy Barton, Senior Vice President of Social Media Services, the webinar will be held on Tuesday, November 15 at 1pm EST. Both executives will spearhead the new Social Media Policy Services, with Young’s public relations experience complementing Barton’s Human Resources expertise to offer customized Social Media Policy guidance to organizations of all sizes.
