Internet Usage & Blogging in the Workplace
Internet Usage & Blogging in the Workplace
Two-thirds of employees use the Internet (and most use it regularly), but nearly 70 percent of organizations do not have an explicit policy that regulates employee Internet usage. The Internet & Blogging in the Workplace provides the training and guidance organizations need to ensure employees use Internet resources effectively and avoid many of the liability issues that can arise when employees go online.
Employee blogging, chatting and Instant Messaging (via the Internet) impact employers more than they realize. Inappropriate blogs or posts may become permanently traceable records (permalink) for which employers or employees may be legally liable. Employees’ posts on industry-related or social networking sites and even personal blogs may unintentionally reveal trade secrets, insider information or describe the organization in a negative light.
The Internet & Blogging in the Workplace illustrates best practices that will ensure professional and effective online activity. The course also shows the dangers and pitfalls of improper or haphazard online activity and instructs employees how to avoid inappropriate behavior. The course provides organizations with a basic Internet usage policy, which will be helpful for those without one, or in developing their own.
