Over the past several years, various forms of social media, including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, have exploded in popularity. These forms of media can present a lot of information for employers, but what the employer does with that information may also prove to be fertile ground for claims of discrimination, invasion of privacy, wrongful termination or violations of federal labor laws.
Focusing on case studies and real-life scenarios, the seminar will explore the limits of employer action with respect to social media, and will provide employers with examples of best practices and policies to assist them in navigating the challenges that social media use can present.
