Facebook, YouTube, and Other Social Media: Friend Or Foe In The Workplace?
Millions of people use social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube every day. Companies can use these evolving technologies to spread their message, or even to assist in making staffing decisions. However, when misused by employees and managers – both inside and outside the workplace – social media websites can also expose employers to significant liability.
This program will examine the full range of issues surrounding social media websites and the workplace, as well as how to manage them:
- An overview of the wide variety of social media technologies
- Effective use of social media in recruiting, hiring and staffing
- Potential sources of liability for employers from social media by employees
- Drafting effective policies to limit exposure
- Training employees on social media use
- Enforcing and monitoring social media policies
The material presented is constantly updated, to keep pace with the rapidly changing social media landscape. The presentation is highly interactive, and includes demonstrations of social media as well as real-world scenarios to guide the discussions.
