Hill & Knowlton Posts Blogger Conduct Code
More companies are allowing their employees to blog, but only after individuals agree to abide by a private code of conduct. When WOMMA member Hill & Knowlton unveiled its employee blogger community, the consulting firm went a step further and shared its 15-point "code of practice" with the general public. Some points are meant to guide employee behavior, but others clearly enlist the public to act as "watchdogs":
* I will acknowledge and correct mistakes promptly
* I will never delete a post
* I will disagree with other opinions and respectfully
* I will distinguish between factual information/commentary and advertising
Kudos to Hill & Knowlton for demonstrating ethical best practices in action. This may even serve as a model for other companies taking the blogging plunge.
