Social Media and the New Workplace: Are Your Brand and Reputation Protected?

On March 8, Francine Esposito was a featured speaker in an Employment Law Alliance webinar, entitled, "Social Media and the New Workplace: Is Your Brand and Reputation Protected?" More than 400 national and international attendees participated in the webinar, which discussed ways in which the new world of social media presents real challenges to employers who are seeking to protect their company brand and reputation. The expanding obligations employers have with respect to their own social media presence and the impact on customer relations was discussed, along with the appropriate bounds for an employee's use of social media and a review of recent developments at the National Labor Relations Board and the lessons for employers. Attendees included in-house counsel, human resources professionals, corporate executives and business owners.
