Disgruntled employee blog…will HR be prepared for the continuing evolution of the social web?

This blog claims to be that of a, ‘Current (or former) First NLC employee,’ and he says he, ‘Knows all,’ and ,’Tell(s) all.’ Considering some of the titles to his posts, telling all seems to be exactly what he’s set out to do…

• Eight Percent Is Enough
• At Least We Know Where The Rent Money Is Coming From
• All Hail Our New Benevolent Leaders

Btw, there is a bunch of content about what life is like at the company on this blog and none on the company’s own site.

This should serve as a warning to employers which have yet to take the time to understand blogs and their potential to impact employer branding and recruitment.

My beloved HR, please understand that the web is changing fast. It is NOW super easy for disgruntled employees to publish their opinions of your employer brand, whether its fair and accurate or not.

So what will it be? Will you sit back on your big ATS or create a blog, develop a content strategy and execute?
