Blogging and employers
Well, my employer has asked me to write an article on blogs in the workplace, for a human resources company's newsletter. (Heh heh heh. If they only knew...)
The idea will be to advise employers of the new phenomenon, and to advise them what policies they need to adopt in their employee manual to protect their options if the need to discipline or terminate employees should arise.
But there's another side to this story, too -- where an employee blog might actually do a great deal to enhance a company's reputation, or to create buzz and generate business.
I know there are a few corporations with "official blogs," of course.
Bearing in mind the audience: business owners and HR specialists reading the newsletter for practical tips on employee relations, I'd love to hear from anyone who has any experience with the intersection of blogs and the workplace - be it from a blogger/employee's perspective or employer's perspective.
Especially if it HASN'T been covered in the media already.
Thanks,
Jason
P.S. Look, boss, I'm blogging from my desk. During WORKING HOURS!!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
(Collapsing in fit of maniacal laughter)
