With use of micro-blogging tool Twitter approaching epidemic proportions in 2009, many employers are concerned about the implications of Twitter for the workplace. To answer these concenrs, specialists from law firm Charles Russell present an invaluable FAQ on workplace Twitter usage (subscription required), including guidance on: whether employees should be permitted to 'tweet' during work hours; how Twitter can be used in the hiring process; and what to do if employees badmouth the organisation via Twitter.
But as we have noted before, employers would be well-advised not to ban workplace access to Twitter and other Web 2.0 applications in the first instance, as there is much that Twitter and Web 2.0 can offer HR.
Indeed, XpertHR already has a well-established presence on Twitter, with rolling updates allowing you to keep track of key issues and receive alerts whenever signficant new content is added to the site.
And for established users, try searching for #followhr on Twitter, to access the tweets of a global network of HR professionals.
