Social Media Issues in the Workplace 1.5 Credits
Select your learning mode
Does your social media or other policies require employees to be respectful, not release confidential information, not engage in threats, communicate professionally, and/or be fair and courteous?
Although these seem innocent enough, they likely exist within your expectations for employees regardless of whether you have a social media policy. However, according to National Labor Relations Board guidance, all five of these requirements would likely be ruled as Unfair Labor Practices or unlawful, regardless of the presence of a union.
Additionally, a similar misstep with your social media policy during recruitment could violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulations, State Attorney General’s Office guidelines, local ordinances, and several privacy laws. Therefore, attending this CPE Course is mandatory to ensure future workplace compliance.
It's about more than just "sexting" or visiting inappropriate websites! Are employees fully aware of the policy, and have they been trained in its proper application? Is your social media policy aligned with all your other policies and/or collective bargaining agreements, and does it protect individual rights regarding confidentiality and the First Amendment right to Freedom of Speech? Does it protect copyrights, trademarks, intellectual property, and trade secrets? Are your "take down" protocols adequate? Who owns an employee's social media accounts, and what happens when an employee exits the organization? Suppose you don’t know the answers to at least these fundamental questions.
Join this CPE Course; it will ensure your social media policy protects the organization, its employees, and all stakeholders.

Bob established the legal issues of Social Media. Ticking timebombs are most revealing. Mr. Obestein had the honesty to admit that he is not a licensed, practicing attorney. I found that to be a great strength that I deeply respect.
