Social media has become a daily part of many people’s lives and can be an important tool for companies to connect with their customers and the general public. But it also has led to employees using social media to comment on their employers, co-workers and workplace conditions.

This webinar provided employers practical tips on handling employees’ use of social media to discuss workplace issues – specifically, employees posting negative comments about their companies – in a lawful manner. It discussed current guidance from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) about employee use of social media and the restrictions and best practices that surround social media policies.
