The explosive growth of online social networks is rapidly blurring the lines between
professional and personal lives. Virtual communities such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, LinkedIn, UTube and personal blogs
have increased the potential of reputational risk for many organizations and their brands. Nearly 74% of employee respondents
in a recent survey believe social networks make it easier to damage a company's reputation. Employers are unclear on whether
they can discipline social networks, and on the flip side, whether employers should be using these resources themselves as
screening tools. This in-depth session will address the legalities and business ethics of the following:
- Employers' use of
social networking information when making employment decisions - Reducing reputational risk by monitoring social networks. What action can
be taken once information is obtained?-Addressing information provided to you by customers or co-workers from social websites- Conducting background checks on applicants and
monitoring employee activity to determine compliance with business mission statement, ethics and policies- Disciplining employees for inappropriate social
networking? When does their business become your business?- Best practices and sample policies relating to organizational and employee
use of sites-Risk
Management - Liability Assessment (discrimination, harassment, privacy concerns, fair credit reporting laws, off-duty conduct,
joint employer liability, negligent hiring, defamation) - Communicating with former employees or customers who are transmitting misinformation
about your organization (includes sample demand letters)
