The Society for Human Resource Management published this report as of 2005, indicating that only 3% of employees were disciplined for blogging practices that breached company regulations. The study also showed that 3% of organisations read potential employees blogs as a tool in the recruitment and selection process.
What is interesting here is the report was conducted in 2005. Considering blogs were only just becoming popular in 2004 it would be interesting to see what’s happened in the intervening couple of years.
