Social Media in the workplace – are you protecting against the legal risks ?

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube and other social networking sites link millions of people across the world every day and have become an important way for people to connect, meet and communicate. Social media has become an integral part of the way we live and has had a major impact on the way we interact and communicate. Unfortunately, the impact is not always positive. Employee use of social media, inside and outside the workplace, can expose employers to serious legal liabilities. This seminar will consider the legal liabilities which can arise, and the developing case law on social media in the workplace and highlight what steps employers should be taking to ensure that their organisation is protected against the legal issues arising from employee use and misuse of social media.
