How to Stop Complaints in Social Media by Your Employees
Duration: 90 minutes
Speaker: Deirdre Kamber Todd
Webinar Description
Social media use has become the norm for over 90% of the US workforce. The statistics relating to employee use of social media are staggering: (1) over 80% of employees use social media on a daily basis to complain about work and share gossip; (2) 70% of employees deem themselves disengaged from their workplaces and nearly 20% call themselves "actively disengaged" meaning that they would seek to harm their workplaces; (3) on average, employees have more than 300 "friends" online; and (4) the average post is reposted 3 times by others, also with an average of 300 friends.
What does this mean? In the US, most employees are complaining about their employers almost every day, and those complaints are being shared with 27,000,000 other people. So, complaints about your business could be circulating to huge numbers of people at any given time.
The law regarding how employers can police their employees’ use of social media to prevent attacks online by those workers has evolved to meet new technologies and trends. Join employment lawyer Deirdre Kamber Todd as she reviews applicable laws regulating an employer’s ability to find out what its workers are saying about it in social media and what the employer can legally do to prevent this disparagement.
