Social Media Policy

At WeSalute, we recognize the Internet provides unique opportunities to participate in interactive discussions and share information using a wide variety of social media. However, use of social media also presents certain risks and carries with it certain responsibilities. To minimize risks to WeSalute, you are expected to follow our guidelines for the appropriate use of social media.

This policy applies to all Team Members who work for WeSalute.

Guidelines​

For purposes of this policy, social media includes all means of communicating or posting information or content of any sort on the Internet, including to your own or someone else's web log or blog, journal or diary, personal website, social networking or affinity website, web bulletin board or a chat room, whether associated or affiliated with WeSalute, as well as any other form of electronic communication.

Company principles, guidelines, and policies apply to online activities just as they apply to other areas of work. Ultimately, you are solely responsible for what you communicate in social media. You may be personally responsible for any litigation that may arise should you make unlawful defamatory, slanderous, or libelous statements against any Customer, Manager, Owner, or Team Member of WeSalute.

Know and Follow the Rules​

Ensure your postings are consistent with these guidelines. Postings that include unlawful discriminatory remarks, harassment, and threats of violence or other unlawful conduct will not be tolerated and may subject you to disciplinary action.

Be Respectful​

WeSalute cannot force respect by Team Members on social media. If you decide to post complaints or criticism, avoid using statements, photographs, video, or audio that reasonably could be viewed as unlawful, threatening, or that might constitute unlawful harassment. Examples of such conduct might include defamatory or slanderous posts meant to harm someone's reputation or posts that could contribute to a hostile work environment on the basis of race, sex, disability, age, national origin, religion, veteran status, or any other status or class protected by law or Company policy. Your personal posts and social media activity should not reflect upon or refer to WeSalute

When posting information:​

  • Maintain the confidentiality of trade secrets, intellectual property, and confidential commercially-sensitive information (i.e. financial or sales records/reports, marketing or business strategies/plans, product development, customer lists, patents, trademarks, etc.) related to WeSalute.

  • Do not create a link from your personal blog, website, or other social networking sites to a Company website that identifies you as speaking on behalf of WeSalute.

Using Social Media at Work​

Do not use social media while on work time, unless it is work-related as authorized by your Manager or consistent with policies that cover equipment owned by WeSalute.
