Overview
As social media becomes an entrenched part of our workplaces and our lives, employers are struggling to determine whether and how employee misconduct on these platforms can be managed or prevented. This Advantage CPD session is geared towards Human Resources professionals and will provide employers with a better understanding of their rights to address employee misconduct on social media and the difficult questions of privacy, free speech, and off-duty conduct that often accompany these issues.

In this Advantage CPD session, we will review and discuss:
• Freedom of speech and social media
• Social media misconduct: case law studies
• Social media as litigation evidence
• Development of social media policies and best practices
A 15 minute interactive Q & A panel discussion will also be included.
