Use of Social Media and Networking Sites
Except where a team member’s position requires it, team members must not
use social media and networking sites during working hours or on the
Company’s ECS. At all times, team members must avoid disclosing or
commenting on any “insider information” relative to the Company’s sales,
earnings, growth plans, costs and expenses, and any other information that
may be considered “insider information” pursuant to the federal and state
securities laws. Team members also must not disclose any information that
is or may be confidential, proprietary and/or trade secret information to the
Company or to any other party that has disclosed information to the
Company. Please refer to the full discussion of this topic in our Code of
Ethics, Integrity and Conduct which is posted on our website and with which
team members are obligated to comply.
The Company reserves the right to, and does, block any website and email
address that it deems inappropriate or non-work related. The Company may
block access to any or all of the Internet at any time. The decision to block
access to any website or e-mail address will be made by the Company’s
Chief Restaurant Operations Officer for its restaurant operations and by the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer for all brewery and home office
operations.
Team members’ blogs and personal social network profiles are individual
expressions and not Company communications. BJ’s encourages team
members who participate in online forums or social media communities such
as, but not limited to, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, whether at work or
on their own time, to refrain from making comments that could portray BJ’s
in a negative manner. Remember that your audience includes present and
future BJ’s guests and other BJ’s team members. Take responsibility for
what you write, and exercise good judgment and common sense. Team
members are personally responsible for their own statements and posts
including those that could be considered unlawful disclosures of insider,
proprietary and/or confidential information or defamatory statements.
