Blogs, MySpace, You Tube, chat rooms, and other posting sites are being used by employees to complain and kvetch about their jobs, and even to reveal company secrets. Individuals (including your employees and applicants) also post personal information, seemingly indiscriminately.

Blogs may reveal job frustrations, confidential company information, disparaging information about other employees. As an HR professional, you must be prepared to tackle this difficult issue - by staying on top of ever-changing legal parameters. Take this workshop to:

-Navigate tricky legal restrictions with regard to your employees' postings
-Develop a computer use policy or update your current one
-Understand problems a company with a blogger may face
-Protect your company from blogging issues
-Understand what you can and cannot do when you discover information about an applicant or employee on the Internet
