Why Should You Attend:

The rumor mill has taken on a whole new dimension. Employees can spread gossip within seconds on social networking sites. Employees can harm your company’s reputation very quickly due to what is said on such sites. Their statements, if inappropriate, could even get your company in trouble with the SEC if you are a publicly traded company.

Disciplining, however, could land your company with an unfair labor practice charge before the National Labor Relations Board. It could even land you in court. How do you protect your company from inappropriate postings? Can you use social networking sites yourself to conduct background checks? Are there legal ramifications of such a practice?

Attend this webinar to learn how the company can be held accountable for its employees posting inappropriate content on social networking sites, the legal concerns in disciplining such employee behavior and how HR professionals can be legally compliant in using social networking sites for background checks.

Areas Covered in the Seminar:

  • Why social networking has become the human resource professional's latest friend?
  • Why social networking has become the human resource professional's latest enemy?
  • Legal concerns for failing to discipline for employees posting inappropriate content on social networking sites.
  • When employees' statements on social networking sites may be protected under the law such as the National Labor Relations Act?
  • When can a human resource professional use information on social networking sites in conducting background checks?
  • What policies you should consider to protect your company from inappropriate comments on social networking sites?
  • What are the legal concerns for a human resource professional in using social networking sites for background checks?
