Every so often, I post a "What I've Been Reading This Week" article that focuses on a particular topic. It has been a while since I dedicated a post to strictly HR related issues, and given that I came across several good articles on the topic, I thought readers might enjoy an HR related post.
As always, below are a few articles that caught my eye this week.
Using Private E-mail for Work: A Lesson
This article from the HR Capitalist has a clever look at what employers and employees alike can learn from the issues surrounding Hillary Clinton's use of personal e-mail for work related matters. The biggest takeaway that I think readers will find useful are the helpful "hints" on what employers and employees should consider before sending work related e-mails. Well worth a read, if for nothing more than as a reminder to avoid potentially disastrous work related e-mails that could come back to bite you...
All too often, I see articles and cases that discuss employees (and some employers) who use social media for work related purposes...and often not for good reasons (such as posting derogatory comments about co-workers, leaking trade secrets online, etc.). Hilliary Comeau has a different take on social media and work, namely a few instances when social media can be used in a positive way. While I would suggest that employers and employees not use social media for any work related purpose in order to avoid potential issues altogether, this article has a few interesting exceptions that some might find useful.
