Twitter users create 50 million tweets each day. Facebook now has over 400 million users – who share more than 5 billion pieces of content each week. And more than 75% of employees are already using social networking sites for business purposes.
Social media is a reality in the office. Yet most organizations have not defined the dos and don’ts of the proper use of social media in their office. And the risks are real: nearly 20% of companies report that they have investigated the posting of confidential, sensitive or private information by their employees using social media.
Employers must understand and educate employees on what constitutes appropriate and legal use of social media – whether they’re at work, home – or anywhere else they may be connected.
This complimentary and interactive session will address:
- New media + old behavior – how social media increases organizational risk to confidentiality, harassment and intellectual property
- Federal and state laws and guidelines that every organization needs to understand
- Ethics and compliance issues created by social media
- Considerations for drafting a social media policy and approach
- Best practices for the appropriate use of social media in the workplace
