Social
media websites are now used for much more than connecting socially. More and
more, blogs and websites like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and especially
LinkedIn, are used to connect to business professionals, announce events and
generate attendance, share information, capture customer data, and even drive
sales.
However,
these same websites can also distract staff, create privacy and security
concerns, exposing your organization to potential liability, and putting at
risk your business information and reputation.
Over the
past few years, as the courts and legislatures have begun to grapple with these
issues, an emerging body of law and best practices has developed for dealing
with an ever-increasing social media-savvy workforce.
Join us as
we explore how social media intersects with the law of the workplace. We will
discuss several recent cases and their implications for employers,
highlighting, among other issues, such topics as:
- When can employers monitor
employee usage of social media at work and when should they?
- What are the benefits and risks
involved in employer-sanctioned use of social media?
- To what extent can employers be
liable for the social media activity of their employees?
- What information can employers
learn about applicants from social media and can they use that
information?
- How and when should companies
create social media policies and what should these policies say?
Join Prince
Lobel employment attorneys in this interactive program as we explore these and
other issues concerning social media in the workplace.
