Social…and secure?

 

Those of us that work with the government as our customer may not be thinking about the impact our employees can have on our business when they are being social. We are in a new society where people young and often times not so young are not thinking of the impact of their communications in the social networking 'mind- field' they may be playing in. As government contractors we must be vigilant in reminding them of the art form called 'discretion'. It may seem harmless that they go on a rant about their least favorite customer or the frustration they had the previous week on a particular contract incident. Sharing their thoughts with some of their best 'buds' may not be the smartest thing when posting on FACEBOOK or any other social means of communicating. A little reminder in a roundtable lunch and learn may keep compliance and discretion in the proper perspective. Encourage their communication to remain social regarding work and not a tell-all therapy session…online!
