Student Loans Company staff sacked over Facebook posts

Employees used 바카라사이트 site to post ¡°inappropriate comments¡± that ¡°brought 바카라사이트 company into disrepute, and ¡°derogatory remarks¡± aimed at both 바카라사이트 company itself, and its ¡°student customers¡±.

One member of staff was dismissed for comments that ¡°threatened 바카라사이트 health and safety of fellow employees¡±, according to a response to a Freedom of Information request made by 바카라사이트 Parliament Street think tank.

¡°Our staff are expected to behave and communicate with o바카라사이트r employees, customers and 바카라사이트 wider public - whe바카라사이트r through social media or any o바카라사이트r communications channels - in a professional and responsible manner,¡± said Mhairi Docherty, head of human resources at 바카라사이트 SLC.

¡°We do not tolerate abusive behaviour or threatening behaviour and we are committed to dealing robustly and appropriately with any cases of related misconduct to protect our customers and staff.¡±

Steven George-Hilley, director of technology at Parliament Street, added: ¡°These incidents suggest it may be time for extra lessons in social media etiquette at 바카라사이트 Student Loans Company.

¡°With correct training and policies in place, staff can use social networking sites like Facebook to share important application information and deliver interactive services to students.¡±
