Every single step you take as an employer to minimize liability of your employees’ use of Social Media in the workplace counts! As an employer you have a business interest in protecting confidential information, brand/image and employee morale and productivity, as well as insulating yourself from legal liability resulting from your employees’ social media activities. Key in meeting these goals is not to skip a single step in the process of creating, implementing and enforcing a comprehensive social media policy in your organization.
In this presentation we will review recent decisions by the National Labor Relations Board regarding its stance on employers’ social media policies, the appropriate prohibitions that a social media policy can include, as well as the scope of a policy and how to implement it. This presentation will also discuss the use of Social Media as evidence in Employment Litigation.
