Free Breakfast Seminar: In Your Face(book)! Managing Employee Internet Use
Join Karnopp Petersen's employment attorneys on June 4, 2009 from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. for a lively discussion of practical ways to address social networking and the workplace issue.
In Your Face(book)! Managing Employee Internet Use
Like it or not, online social networking (Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and more) reaches across generations and can touch all corners of the workplace. Given how information on these sites can spread like a virus—faster than a teenager with text messaging—even a single employee’s activity can have a real impact on your business. How can employers address employee social networking and internet use? Join us as we tackle the following issues, and more:
• What are the primary social networking and other sites that employees are using? How can they affect the workplace?
• Fired for Facebook? Terminated for Twitter? (Can employers discipline employees for on- or off-duty social networking?)
• What legal rights and issues in the workplace are implicated by this phenomenon?
Look for a lively discussion of practical ways to address these issues. We’ll highlight the elements of an effective social networking policy, discuss best practices for addressing internet use at work, and more. Update your status to “effectively managing employee internet use” today! (Yes, it’s a Facebook thing.)
Employment law seminars are free and a light breakfast is provided. Space is limited, so don't wait to RSVP.
