Bring your own device (BYOD) policies are set by companies to allow employees to use their smartphones, laptops, and tablets for work.
A BYOD policy can help set a business up for success. Before you launch Yapster and invite your workforce to download a workplace communication tool on their personal devices, you may want to consider updating/creating your BYOD policy to clearly lay out your expectations and terms of use.
Examples of what to cover in your BYD policy include:
Acceptable use;
Devices and support;
Reimbursement;
Security;
Risk/Liability/Disclaimers;
Consequences of non-compliance.
Where will your policy live?
This policy can be housed in a dedicated broadcast yap for policy updates, in your Apps Tab as a stand-alone document, or within your employee handbook, also housed in your Apps Tab.
Reference to your own policies can also be made in Yapster's Terms & Conditions page which staff are presented with upon first login.
If you'd like to customise this page please let us know during your launch planning call, or flag this to your account manager.
N.B. Remember your policies will need to be reviewed and updated regularly.
