I have several offsite, useful resources for you today. Take a look sometime this weekend.
Your new Carnival of Human Resources, hosted by Rowan Manahan at the Fortify Your Oasis blog, is available for your reading pleasure. Read recent posts from HR and management online writers and bloggers. Find the time, I hope; yours truly was the first post this week - think Rowan liked my comments about holiday party drinking.
Blogging and Social Media Policies
I've also spoken to you about the need for blogging and social media policies so your employees have guidance as to expected behavior. Also, a policy enables the employer to take a stand when you believe an employee has crossed a line that is injurious for the company or another employee. I've talked about how to develop a policy, too, since every workplace is different.
Now, Brandon Prebynski at the Social Media Blog has pulled together 113 (and counting) sample blogging and social media policies. If you're venturing on this path, this is a wonderful resource to find out what other organizations are conveying to and expecting from their employees.
Holiday Happiness and Help
The holidays are upon us and sometimes, I feel as if I am frantically trying to stay on top of all I need to do, but life changes as families grow older - not so many people to see and they are scattered. But, I will take the time here to address several important holiday issues. First, job searching during the holidays may give you the boost that you need to locate your next opportunity; jobs exist and not so many people are searching.
Second, the holidays are a thoughtful time to consider the implications of diversity in our lives and work lives. Diversity's about more than a "happy holidays" card. I debated listing diversity as a trend in my recent article about the Top Ten HR Trends of the Decade, it is so important. Diversity made Honorable Mention.
