Social Media Problems And Pitfalls HR Needs To Know

Social media is fun, free and easy. More people use it each day for business as well as for pleasure. But despite the promises of using social media for recruiting, marketing, and employee engagement, employers must not ignore the employment law implication associated with privacy, confidentiality, and discrimination. Join host Ira S Wolfe on this week’s Workforce Trends Blog Talk Radio show when he interviews Bill Egan, head of the Labor & Employment group at Oppenheimer, Wolff & Donnelly in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Ira and Bill will discuss the problems, liabilities, and legal pitfalls of using Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other social media in the workplace. The show will be live at 11 AM EDT.
