Managing Social Media Risks in the Workplace: An HR Perspective

This 90-minute webinar on managing social media risks in the workplace will provide an understanding of risks in hiring using social media and also your responsibility in detecting possible dangers in employee use of social media. Learn how you can protect your employers from legal liabilities and issues such as reputational risk, IP leakage, and copyright infringement.

Why Should You Attend:

Jobvite's 2011 survey indicated that 80.2% of US companies are already using Social Media to recruit and another 8.7% of companies are planning to begin this year.

The explosion in the use of social media has dramatically increased the level of exposure to issues such as reputational risk, IP leakage, and copy right infringement for organizations. In short, social media has created a minefield for HR. This unique tool introduces new complexity, even legal risks, to compliance with hiring practices that need to be explored. Now that every employee has a virtual megaphone, allowing them to share information across the globe, it’s time to stop asking how to keep employees from using social media and start figuring out how to integrate the tool into your work cultures.
