The Social Media Contract For Employees is designed for organizations operating in Nigeria seeking to establish clear boundaries and guidelines for employee social media usage. This document has become increasingly essential due to the growing influence of social media in professional environments and the potential risks it poses to organizational reputation, data security, and employee relations. The contract addresses key areas including acceptable use policies, confidentiality requirements, brand protection measures, and compliance with Nigerian legislation including the Labour Act, Data Protection Regulation (NDPR), and Cybercrimes Act. It's particularly valuable for organizations wanting to protect their interests while respecting employee rights to personal expression, and includes specific provisions for social media conduct during and outside working hours.
