Archived Webcast (On Demand Course): The Employer and Social Networking: "To Friend" or Foe

Our ability to freely post and broadcast information globally, and to have it received instantaneously by recipients' cell phones, laptops, PC computers or other remote access sites is fostering a feeding frenzy of information sharing. Social networking among adults continues to trend upward, and forward-thinking employers cannot ignore the potential workplace advantages that exist through such online resources. However, savvy employers also recognize and understand the possible pitfalls of using these technophile tools when making employment-based decisions.

This course will help employers navigate the many challenges of managing social networking and its relationship to the workplace.

Topics that will be covered in this Webinar include:

Overview of laws and regulations that apply to online workplace issues
How the employment application process is affected by online accessibility
The effect of online resources upon the employer's workforce
Review hypothetical facts to address relevant scenarios: using social networks for online recruitment; employer-related information posted on employee's blog; mining Internet sites for employee and applicant data

After completing this course, participants will be able to:

Understand the general nature and structure of social networking sites.
Identify applicable laws and legal doctrines: electronic communications legislation, personal privacy expectations, anti-discrimination laws.
Create or modify workplace policies and practices to minimize legal risks when accessing information through online resources.
