In early May we published our “Cisco Social Media Policy” for our employees to read, acknowledge and if applicable inculcate into their daily regime as employees of Cisco. An internal Governance Board created this document to empower the employee’s engagement rather than harness as the employee traversed through the social media and social network landscape. Does it answer all the questions imaginable, no, it does, however, provide the necessary guidance to allow any employee to navigate and escalate any questions which may arise during the many daily social media journeys.
Many ask, what’s inside a Cisco social media policy document and why do you have one? As stated above, the guide is there to help employees navigate social networks, as the employee engages the many audiences present within these social networks.
At Cisco we are a community that embraces transparency, authenticity and openness. We encourage our employees to be a part of social networks, both internal to Cisco, as well as, external to Cisco. Our employees may use social networking sites while at work to conduct business. Cisco does not block access to social networking sites – we believe in empowering the workforce and instilling trust in our employees to work responsibly.
