Workshop Overview:
One careless post can spark a PR crisis, legal dispute, or internal conflict and organisations are increasingly being held accountable. Social media blurs the boundaries between personal opinion and professional conduct. Whether it’s a joke that lands badly, a provocative political comment, or an employee calling out their employer online, the reputational and legal fallout can be significant. High-profile cases, from celebrities to civil servants, show just how quickly things can escalate. If your organisation lacks a clear social media policy or doesn't know how to enforce it, you could find yourself powerless to act until it’s too late.
This essential session is designed for HR professionals, leaders, and managers who want to understand what the law allows, what policies must cover, and how to respond when things go wrong. Failing to prepare leaves your organisation exposed to reputational damage, legal risk and internal conflict. Don't wait for a crisis - join us and get proactive.
Learning Objectives:
We will look at:
- What restrictions employers can (and cannot) place on employees’ personal social media use
- Real-world case studies, including what tribunals and courts have ruled
- How to create a clear, fair, and enforceable social media policy
- What to include in your policy to protect your organisation’s reputation and values
- What actions you can take when an employee breaches social media rules and how to handle grey areas
- Plus, the opportunity to get advice on your workplace scenarios and have all your questions answered by Kathy.
