Like it or not, many of your employees likely are accessing Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other social media sites on and off the clock. Telling them not to may be impractical. But improperly managing the associated risks can put your business in jeopardy.

This unique webinar will explore the many issues emerging from the explosive popularity of social media:

• Where do you draw the line on when and how much an employee can engage with social media?
• What should your social media policy include or avoid? The answers may shock you.
• Your employees are blogging, tweeting and networking — on your behalf as well as their own. Who owns the followers?
• Is it lawful for a recruiter, HR, or a supervisor to peruse the Facebook or Twitter pages of an employee or potential hire?
• What are the privacy ramifications of social media on the workplace?
• Is it possible to control employees’ use of social media without violating the National Labor Relations Act or other employment and civil rights laws?

In this 90-minute interactive webinar you’ll learn about the risks and benefits of allowing employees access to social media sites, practical solutions concerning regulation of social media access in the workplace and what you need to do to update your policies.  And, you’ll have the opportunity to have your social media questions answered during the live Q&A portion of the webinar.
