Like it or not, even if you are not using social media (Facebook, twitter, LinkedIn) to promote your business; you can be sure that your employees are engaged in social media on and off the job.  Employees' posts can have a substantial impact on your company - reveal confidential information, embarrass an important vendor, or win you an account.

You can control what happens by creating a strong and clear Social Media Policy and by reviewing that policy with your employees so they understand their rights and legal liability.  As an employer, you continually struggle to find the balance between maintaining your brand and empowering your employees.   In this increasingly public, computer-centric world, there aresteps you can take to protect your business without overstepping areas protected by employee privacy laws.  And if done correctly you can turn employees into ambassadors for your company.

In this must-attend, complimentary breakfast briefing, Littler attorneys Shawn Oller and Charlotte Lamont, along with Barbara Lemaire, CEO and Chief Strategist for Social Media Made Simple, will help you navigate the complex area ofregulating employee off- and online conduct and discuss how to reduce its potential impact on your business. You will receive take-away tips and advice on managing social networking activities and drafting effective policies to mitigate the impact of negative on- and off-duty conduct. Additionally, we will review what the courts are saying about this increasingly important area of the law and provide practical steps you can take now to minimize risk for your company.
