July 30, 2010Response to those who are afraid for their employees to blog – Jason Falls

Filed under: New Dynamics by merylrunion |

I recently heard a trainer at a conference suggest that employers should prohibit employees from using social media. While I strongly recommend having a clear social media policy, (and even offer phrases to implement it in the new edition of my manager phrase book,) I agree with Jasen Falls who says,

  • If you are afraid of what your employees will say about you online, then your problem is not your employees, it’s you. Hire smarter.

Too often we try to control the communication instead of listening and figuring out how to improve our relationships.
