As employees’ work and lifestyles change and as business and personal technology continues to expand, employers must clearly understand when, or if, they can control employee personal behavior. In this highly interactive session, our attorneys will lead a group discussion on topical scenarios that examine the regulatory, technological and social issues that are dramatically reshaping the modern workplace and seek to find practical ways of dealing with increasingly common issues such as:
- An employee embarrasses herself on social media (Facebook or Twitter) and is now the number one topic of conversation—and distraction—among other employees. What can you do?
- Should supervisors "friend" subordinates on social media? Or does that potentially give the employer too much involvement in and knowledge of the employee's private life?
- Exactly what can an employee say about his company online? What control can the employer exercise?
- Can employers prohibit employees from engaging in political or religious activities using company electronic resources? What if employees are doing it on a company-provided device, but on their own time?
- If you use technology such as video cameras in work areas and GPS tracking devices in company vehicles to monitor and/or control behavior, how will this likely impact your employees—and is it worth it?
- Should employees be prohibited from using technology like smartphones to videotape or record workplace interactions with coworkers or supervisors?
