Synopsis

With the fast-evolving advent of Social Media and Social Networking many companies are unprepared for the legal and ethical pitfalls this new boom has created. Never before has the ability been so great then today to access personal as well as public information. What are the ground rules, if any? Where do we put limits and create policies to manage the landmines ‘private’ information can create if used inappropriately? How do you keep yourself safe and in compliance? When can you use social media-driven information with your own employees and in hiring new ones? This is a must for all business owners, executives, hiring managers, and HR types.
