This seminar will focus on common questions on the minds of employers:

• Can employers consider social media postings when making hiring decisions?
• To what extent should employers regulate and monitor employee social media use?
• What types of legal claims can arise from an employer's attempts to regulate employees' social media postings?
• What are the components of an effective social media policy?
• How can employers guide their workforce to a productive use of social media?
