====== SOP: Staff Profile Photos for Work-Related Platforms ======

=== 🔍 Purpose ===
To guide staff on how to present themselves across professional and work-adjacent platforms in a way that aligns with the company's values: approachable, thoughtful, and intentional—while still allowing room for personal style and privacy.

=== 🧭 Scope ===
Applies to all staff who:
  * Appear on the company website
  * Represent the company in communication channels (LinkedIn, Telegram, etc.)
  * Share work-related content or are publicly associated with the company

=== ✅ General Principle ===
Your profile photo should make others think, “I’d trust this person to work on something important.”

This doesn’t mean boring—it just means intentional, clear, and not misleading.

=== 📸 1. Platforms with High Professional Visibility ===

Examples:
  * LinkedIn  
  * Website bios  
  * Speaker profiles (events, conferences)  
  * External press releases or marketing material

Recommended:
  * Clear, front-facing headshot
  * Clean or neutral background
  * Dress that reflects your professional role (business casual or formal)
  * No heavy filters, party photos, or distracting elements

=== 💬 2. Telegram and Privacy-Sensitive Platforms ===

We recognize Telegram is a dual-purpose tool:  
  * Used for internal work chats
  * But also for public channels and large groups where privacy matters

For Telegram, you may use:
  * A professional headshot (same as LinkedIn) //if you're in a work-only context//
  * A neutral, creative, or anonymized image (like abstract art, symbols, tasteful avatars, or ASCII art) //if you're active in public groups or value privacy//

✅ The key is:
  * No memes, selfies, or chaotic images  
  * The photo should still feel intentional and not unprofessional if seen by a colleague or client

=== ⚠️ 3. Not Acceptable in Any Context ===
  * Party shots or cropped group photos  
  * Heavy face-altering filters  
  * Images that could reflect poorly on the company or create confusion about your identity  
  * Memes, joke images, or unrelated pop culture figures

=== 🛠 4. Process and Support ===
  * We offer photo-taking support during onboarding or photo update days  
  * Unsure about your image? Ask HR or Comms for quick feedback  
  * You can update your photo at any time to reflect your growth or role changes
