Channeling the Workplace Social Media Explosion: Opportunities and Risk for Employers

Social media websites like Facebook, Yammer and Twitter are pervasive in the workplace and can no longer be ignored. But how do you protect your organization? Like many employers, the use of social media for marketing and sales purposes is encouraged and can help build creative dialogue throughout your company. But what about the risks?

"Oversharing" of personal information. Privacy concerns. Workplace confidentiality. The potential minefield of issues runs far and wide.

In this complimentary, thought-provoking two hour seminar, we will explore trends in how companies are using social media, its growing impact on the workplace, and a framework for assessing legal risk and preparing plans and policies to become compliant. We will discuss strategies on what you can do now to protect your organization. The speakers are Andrew Goldberg, executive vice president and chair of Makovsky's Corporate Advisors Practice and Philip Berkowitz, U.S. practice co-chair of Littler's International Employment Law Practice Group.
