Apparently HR Florida had Debbie Weil speak at their conference last week in Orlando. There are many ways blogs are affecting HR – from providing new informational resources (like this one) to lending an inside look at new employees. Here’s some coverage of the event over at SHRM.
A quote:
Weil told attendees about search engines that specifically scan blogs, including Technorati, Feedster Inc. and Icerocket.com. HR professionals can use these search engines to discover what their employees are writing about, or who is saying what about the company. And, HR can search out potential employees to get a better idea of who they are through their blogs.
If anybody has any questions about what blogs are about – don’t hesitate to ask. I’m nice.
How do you gracefully and professionally reassign an employee to a lower position in the organization because their skills have not progressed with the growth of the organization? This employee does not think their skills are lacking.
Hi
Do you maybe know if there are any best practice cases of using blogs internally on behalf of the company to give employees the platform to channel their concerns and sorrows which is monitored and steered by an expert?
Mant thanks for your reply
