Update Your Status: Practical Solutions for Social Media Challenges in Today's Technology-Driven Workplace

For better or worse, social media has become ubiquitous in and out of the workplace.  As a result, employers are confronting increasingly vexing issues from toxic online environments to customers complaining on company-sponsored websites about employees’ social media posts to employees “airing dirty laundry” in social media and more.  At the same tie, new guidance from the NLRB, recently enacted social media password protection laws and expanding lawful off-duty conduct laws have magnified legal risk and complexity.  In this session, our speakers will describe one of the toughest social media challenges that employers are facing and will provide practical guidance on how to address them, with special attention devoted to investigation, collection and use of the social media evidence in later legal disputes.  

Speakers are:  Steven Nigh and Elizabeth Pratt of Littler Mendelson P.C.

Please arrive at 12 noon for lunch and the CLE will be from 12:30-1:30 p.m.
