What to include in an office email and internet policy

by
employee handbook

Drafting an effective email use policy may be more complicated than a company might think. Here are some of the chief priorities:

• Create defined parameters on use of electronic systems for business and personal communications.

• Define when employees are permitted to remotely access company email systems.

• Forbid use of derogatory language, harassment and other nonprofessional communications in email and text messages.

• Prohibit use of company’s systems for personal endeavors.

• Do not allow private passwords for work-related accounts.

• Describe that an employee has no privacy rights and that the company can monitor all company electronic systems.
