While the employee’s off-duty conduct is a personal choice, the intersection of her online visibility and the company’s physical location creates a genuine security vulnerability. The manager’s approach of transparency and direct communication is a positive step in managing this sensitive dynamic, though the ongoing exclusion of the employee from public events may foster feelings of alienation.
The manager’s actions were appropriate given the legitimate safety concerns. Moving forward, the company should focus on normalizing the employee’s presence in internal office life while maintaining the policy of excluding her from public-facing media. To handle this more effectively, the manager should facilitate a private, ongoing dialogue to ensure the employee feels valued for her work performance, thereby mitigating the emotional impact of her limited public visibility.

Does the company have the right to exclude an employee from public branding to mitigate external security risks, or does this constitute an unfair limitation on the employee’s professional integration?
