Tagging as a Job Requirement?

To tag or not to tag: Tony Bryne from CMS watch makes the argument that tagging and general content classification is so important, that it becomes a Human Resources issue if you can’t get your employees to do it.

[Mike Maziarka] always argued that employees won’t tag content, so we have to depend mostly on search […]

My rebuttal is that, however difficult, classification is still frequently essential. For starters, very often employees are not given good tools to organize content. First you have to deal with “can’t,” then address “won’t.”

[…] whoever serves as your chief HR officer may need to play a greater role here (and in some enlightened enterprises, already is). Why? Because in this environment, organizing digital information — for yourself and on behalf of your enterprise — has simply become an essential professional skill.

Is organizing content on the same level as getting to work on time and not sending unprofessional email? Do employees who refuse do these things need to re-examined from a Human Resources perspective? Can you “write someone up” for failing to tag their content?
