Charlene Li's Public Wiki : Corporate Blogging Policies

I wrote in a recent report, that companies should have a blogging policy to provide guidelines for employees who want to have blogs. This primarily relates to employee's personal blogs and lays out the guidelines of what the company expects. As expected, policies will vary greatly depending on company circumstance. Here are a few examples and also, my variation.

Sample Corporate Blogging policy

Make it clear that the views expressed in the blog are yours alone and do not necessarily represent the views of your employer.
Respect the company’s confidentiality and proprietary information.
Ask your manager if you have any questions about what is appropriate to include in your blog.
Be respectful to the company, employees, customers, partners, and competitors.
Understand when the company asks that topics not be discussed for confidentiality or legal compliance reasons.
Ensure that your blogging activity does not interfere with your work commitments.
