SHRM 2013 Annual Conference

Workplace Application: Learn how to develop more effective policies and controls to better manage your employe’s use of social media.

This workshop will help you understand the concerns, exposure, applicable laws, proprietary information protection as well as endorsement avoidance. You will also learn the components and best practices of a workable social media policy to ensure your organization stays in compliance.
