Employee Blogs and Websites: Protect Yourself Against the Business and Legal Risks When Workers Go Online Training Seminar
Many employers are dealing with troubling situations these days as a result of employees' blogs and websites. You may have already encountered something like the following:- A recently fired worker posts confidential company information on his personal website, without your knowledge or permission.
- A disgruntled employee complains in her blog that your workplace discriminates against women and other minorities.
- A group of employees jointly launch a new website urging their co-workers to join forces for a union campaign.
When workers go online, they can create a disturbing range of legal risks for employers. Based on what they write and post, you could lose valuable trade secrets and loyal customers, and your organization's reputation may be damaged beyond repair.
Harassing or defamatory comments by employees that would never be tolerated inside the workplace can be much more difficult to control when they're posted on the Internet.
