APU HRMT407 WEEK 5 AND WEEK 6 FORUM

or web logs provide an easy way for people to post opinions on any
subject – including work-related issues or individuals. Some businesses
have established their own blogs, often written by the CEO. Some
companies have fired or disciplined employees for what they say on their
blogs. The best way to handle these concerns is to make clear what the
boundaries and expectations of personal blogging might be. An employee
blogging policy that spells out the boundaries and then a signed
non-disclosure privacy agreement is the best approach. Wikis, group
editable web pages, can be useful for creating agendas and revising
documents and schedules. However, Wikis, like blogs, can cause
difficulties in that some people may have inside knowledge not meant for
publication, or others may plagiarize sources unwittingly.

2. Do you think employees should be fired for what they say on their blogs? Explain.
3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using Wikis?
