The Postal
Service is growing its social media influence every day — engaging
customers on these platforms to reach them in today’s digital culture.
Customers and
employees can find a variety of information and interactive content on social
media platforms, with recent outreach during Winter Storm Nemo and the six-day
package delivery announcement as examples. In both situations, multiple updates
and links to additional information were posted on USPS accounts to provide
immediate responses.
Employees can
get access to social media on work computers through eAccess if they have a
business reason for it, with a manager’s approval. The official USPS social
media policy is online at the Postal Service Policy Net website, and
includes guidelines for professional use.
Employees are
encouraged to visit these sites even if they do not have a work computer or
access at work. These sites, as well as Link,
are optimized for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
