Does your company have a Blog Policy?

Listen to article

Sementara hanya sejumlah kecil perusahaan yang benar-benar mengimplementasikan Kebijakan Blog, apakah perusahaan Anda memiliki atau sedang berupaya membuat sesuatu yang serupa? Mungkin bukan secara khusus kebijakan blog, melainkan sesuatu dengan cakupan yang lebih luas.

Saya baru-baru ini mengalami sebuah insiden kecil dengan salah satu perusahaan tempat saya bekerja saat ini. Meskipun kini menjadi kebijakan pribadi saya untuk tidak mempublikasikan rincian spesifik mengenai apa yang saya lakukan atau hal-hal yang menyerupai pekerjaan kami di sini, terkadang saya terlanjur menyebutkan beberapa detail kecil.

Kesalahan itu terjadi minggu lalu ketika salah satu eksekutif perusahaan menemukan blog saya setelah mencari tautan baru di Google tentang merek perusahaan — tepat di halaman pertama hasil pencarian! Saya mendapat peringatan mengenai hal ini dan segera mengedit teks yang relevan, sambil bertanya-tanya bagaimana saya bisa melewatkan detail kecil tersebut sejak awal.

Sudah terlambat karena Google telah meng-cache URL tersebut. Kita harus menunggu satu bulan sebelum hasil pencarian di Google dibersihkan lagi.

(Ngomong-ngomong, Yahoo! baru saja menerbitkan Pedoman Blog Pribadi-nya.)

if you guys are looking for a job, be careful what you put in your blogs since employers now are smarting up about interviewees–they’re starting to search for candidates’ blogs. while that is not yet prevalent in the philippines, we can never be sure.

The most common policy related to this is a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) which provides that corporate or sensitive infos are not to be relayed or communicated outside of office in any form or means.

Besides, only a handfull of them know about blogging anyway.

No blog policy, just the usual non-disclosure agreement in effect as of the date that I left,… whoops? was I even allowed to say that?… hehehe… :-)

In my company, we have the “Breach on Confidentiality”.

So I avoided discussing anything I do in my company.

I can blog anything as long as I did not voilate this Policy.

One of our directors found out about my blog to my shock. But I guess I was lucky because my entries back then were mostly positive as my life was sort of looking up (it still does). But then I posted some stuff about certain colleagues which I realized could be read by the director. I eventually removed the posts.

There are headhunters and companies out there who search for candidates’ blogs. So everyone should think twice about what they post on their blogs.

It’s good now that certain blogging sites such as blog-city, Yahoo 360 and tabulas allow for certain levels of privacy, so a user may indicate whether an entry may be viewed by close friends only, colleagues, or the general public.

I wish that more blogging sites would have that. As for my current one, it still doesn’t allow much flexibility for privacy so I’m keeping two blogs, one for the public consumption and one for my friends.

It does. It says I can blog all I want, whenever I can, anything and everything. That include topics about the company.

On second thought, I don’t belong in a company. If I do, I’ll be glad to follow their blog policy.
