Social Media in the Workplace: New Rules of Engagement

Seminar Summary

Social media has become one of the fastest growing areas of concern for employers because it provides new and often less private ways for employees to share information and interact with co-workers both at and outside of work. In this seminar, we will provide updates on recent labour and employment law cases involving social media, provide practical advice on how to manage social media in the workplace and answer the following questions:

• Should you monitor employees' use of social media?
• Should you discipline employees for inappropriate use of social media at and away from work?
• Should you review applicants' social media profiles during recruitment?
• Should you have a workplace social media policy?
