OUR MEDIA POLICY

The media policy for Perfect e-Learning provides a framework for using social media. Whether employees are handling a corporate account or use one of their own, they should remain productive. This policy provides a practical approach to avoid issues that might arise by careless use of social media in the workplace.

We expect all our employees to follow this policy.

Policy elements

“Social media” refers to a variety of online communities like blogs, social networks (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, etc), chat rooms, and other online forums. This policy covers all of them. Perfect e-Learning Media Policy emulates different elements for using personal social media at work and representing our company through social media.

Using personal social media

We permit employees to access their personal social media accounts at work. But we expect them to act sensibly and ensure their efficiency isn’t affected. Using social media unreasonably while at work can reduce their productivity and attentiveness. Whether employees are using their accounts for business or personal purposes, they may easily lose focus by the vast amount of available content on the social media.

We advise our employees to:

Use their common sense – If employees neglect their official duties to spend time on social media, their decline in productivity will show on their performance reviews.

Please ensure that personal account or statements don’t represent the company –

Employees shouldn’t state or imply that their personal opinions and content on the social media are official or permitted and endorsed by the company. We advise you to avoid such misunderstandings and keep your statements to a private level as much as possible.

Avoid sharing intellectual property –Like trademarks on a personal account without approval.Confidentiality and privacy policy of the company always apply.

Avoid any defamatory, offensive or derogatory content – It may be considered as a violation of our company’s Code of Ethics, if directed towards colleagues, clients or partners.
