Dear Colleague:

Social media, email and the Web are creating shocking new legal risks for U.S. employers:

A flight attendant is fired for posting risqué pictures of herself in uniform. She sues. Was that free speech?

A Cisco Systems blogger faced a libel lawsuit for disparaging a competitor. Should Cisco have embraced his blogging or shut him down?

A job seeker is rejected after a Google search reveals a “brandishing weapons” conviction. Did HR expose the company to a potential lawsuit?

Where’s the line between prudent monitoring and invasion of privacy? Are sexy or violent postings mere “venting” – or a warning of workplace danger? These are problems experts debate … and attorneys litigate.

Our recent webinar on this topic was one of our most popular events ever. Now we’re offering an Executive Summary of the event – PLUS bonus content. It’s called Employees Online: Best Practices for Monitoring Blogs, IMs, E-mail and Web Surfing.

With new technology come new risks – risks that could severely harm your organization.

Head off potential disasters before they start with Employees Online.

While some of the problems brought about by technology are brand-new, others are simply technology-driven updates of age-old topics like privacy, protecting trade secrets and regulating off-duty conduct. And while technology can have an enormous effect on your organization, you need to make sure that effect is positive – not threatening.
