Should (can?) a social media policy cover the period after an employee leaves a company? I see a lot of 'thank god I've left XX company' on various sites, and a list of company problems (see recent example of the guy who left Yahoo and twittered his way through the whole process, ending up on BBC online - http://tinyurl.com/2oowsh. Would be interested on legal view on this, as well. <BR/><BR/>Re: RSS feeds - for reasons too dull to go into, we've changed blog address so you'll need to update your RSS feeds to point to http://prstick.blogspot.com - let me know if that doesn't work.Kate Hartleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04080331834886411962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4832938198431587004.post-7623212443772055992008-07-22T23:04:00.000+01:002008-07-22T23:04:00.000+01:00We are very bad at seeing (or evaluating, to be mo...We are very bad at seeing (or evaluating, to be more precise) the long-term impact of our short term decisions. <BR/><BR/>And no-one is very good at understanding that our private lives are increasingly becoming public content.<BR/><BR/>I think it's unfair to assume that staff in their twenties will be any better at realizing that the boundaries between business lives and social lives are now almost non-existent - and that they won't be coming back.<BR/><BR/>What we'll begin to see in the long term are behavioural changes that will compensate for this. At this stage, it would simply be speculation to make suggestions (although it's fun to imagine what they might be.)<BR/><BR/>In the meantime, while policies & training are an old-world way of addressing the problem, they're the best we have.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps we could encourage the staff who are going to be most affected by the policies (the under 30s?) to help develop the policy?<BR/><BR/>Incidentally - something's b0rked on your RSS feeds.
