can come with a heaping side order of job pressure in the

informal after-work social event, and the situation also brings
up employee relations or diversity issues for the employer.

You Need a Policy if Your Employees Are Twittering
As social
networking site Twitter use has mushroomed, employees might be
receiving or sending tweets--short messages of 140 characters or
less--through your company's computer servers and other
electronic resources. Allowing employees to tweet through

the most pressing problem is managing the risks associated with
the content of the messages sent through Twitter and other
"texting" resources.

Resolving
Workplace Disputes Internally
As long ago as Plato
and Aristotle, the concept of a prearranged private procedure
for resolving disputes between differing parties was considered
a reasonable and workable alternative to going to court. George
Washington famously included in his will a provision for dispute
resolution. Today, dispute resolution is incorporated widely
into agreements in many fields, including commercial, securities
and employment, and it has been adapted for use by many
government agencies, as well as federal and state courts.
