As a new employer I quickly learned that without proper motivation many employees will do as little as possible to get by until payday. I had to find ways to motivate my employees to provide an optimal experience for every customer, every day. I learned that employee management and accountability ensures that the experience my company provides is desirable, leading to repeat customers.With the guidance of a good lea The first concern that comes to mind is that of libel and whether the company will run into legal problems if they start blogging.

Another thing that you can do to avoid unnecessary claims is to have a policy for your own company blog and one for how you deal with employees who have their own. Given the fact that a blog contains text, images, hyperlinks and even music or video files one must be aware of the intellectual property matters applicable to blogs. Issues include ownership of content, person liable for infringing material, trademark issues as well as the potential disclosure of trade secrets by employees or third parties. Typically, the person creating the content and posting it to the blog will own the copyright. In the case of a company, it owns the content posted by an employee and has the right to redistribute or reuse it for other purposes. The company may also acquire the copyright for the content. If the infringing content is posted to a corporate blog that is operated by an employee then both, the business and the person posting the content could be held liable. However if the content is on a personal blog, the risk to the company is minimal. Just as with other publish material, the title of the blog may be in question if it copied form another trademark. Additionally, the use of the company's trademarks or the trademarks of other companies in blog posts could also give rise to liability. It would be better for the person initiating the blog to clear the trademark issues beforehand so as not to cause infringement problems. Confidential issues and trade policies should be strictly kept off blogs. Employees should be warned of public disclosure of sensitive information as well as made aware of intellectual property rights. Posting of such information may create liability issues and strict policies regarding these should be laid down from the beginning. When advising clients, lawyers should emphasize the use of common sense and the application of existing legal rules and corporate policies to business and employee blogs. This strategy should go a long way toward protecting the business that ventures into this new medium.
