What it takes to write a blog (for BC HRMA)

1. Must be an active BC HRMA member during the life of the blog.
2. Must commit to the blog for a six-month period. After that, the blogger can opt for another six-month term, upon assessment from BC HRMA.
3. Must commit to submitting a blog article at least once every two weeks (and won’t be kicked out of the club for blogging more frequently). The blogs should be no more than 250 words per post.
4. Blogs contain quality, relevant and timely commentary that is of interest to the BC HRMA membership. The focus of the blog will be on topics that speak to or impact human resources management. The blog should share learnings, the latest research, or discuss trends in HR, business or the economy.
5. If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Let’s face it – your blog has to have readers to continue being posted on the ResearchVoice web pages. You’ll track member interest based on blog popularity metrics: volume of commentary added to the site by readers, page views, links to your blog on other blogger sites and websites. You’ll report back to the Research team on your popularity every three months.
6. Your posts may spur heated discussions but must remain professional, ethical and respectful at all times.
7. The blog does not promote a specific business or service. There should be no reference to a brand (through logos, tagline, branded colours, or type font) or business name. Reference to an organization may only be included when the reference adds detail or information to the commentary. Ultimately, the blog should not be an outright or veiled sales pitch.
8. This will be a personal blog. The blogger will not receive compensation from BC HRMA or other organization(s) for maintaining the blog. Because it’s a personal blog, the contents will ultimately be owned by the writer.
9. The blogger is encouraged to provide a bio and synopsis of their blog in the blog’s “About” page. The blogger is welcome to advertise their personal corporate site in the About page.
10. The blog should contain a link to the BC HRMA website (www.bchrma.org) and HRVoice.org (www.hrvoice.org).
11. The blog may contain links to another blog of choice in so far as the blog link complements the blog and does not self-promote.
