Employer Take Away:   What should you as an employer take away from this development?   

From the comfort of your own computer, this webinar will explore the rapidly-evolving legal standards and government regulations involved in the interplay between social media and employer/employee relations.   We will present the top 10 social media and employment law issues that your company will be facing in 2012 and beyond.   Topics will include: 

• Defining social media issues in the employment context
• Identifying problem areas that employers should be watching closely
• Suggesting steps that employers can take when a problem is identified
• Offering real-world examples of social media blunders in the workplace

The webinar will conclude with a question and answer period.   I hope you can make it.
