The near constant rise and development of technology presents new challenges and concerns in today’s workplace. From Employer monitoring of employee workstations to the complexity and increasing use of social media as evidence both at arbitration and in the courts, the role of privacy interests with respect to social media in this new technological landscape have never been timelier and more urgent. This is even more pressing as workplaces ship from the office to the home. As these lines blur, familiarity with the law can help protect your members.
This program provides an in-depth review of the impact of Social Media in the Workplace. We will review and examine the current jurisprudence with respect to the matter, the impact of legislation such as the Human Rights Code, Occupational Health and Safety Act, etc., as well as practical application of said law. PARTICIPANTS WILL COME AWAY WITH A CLEAR NEW PERSPECTIVE ON SOME KEY DO’S AND DON’TS IN TODAY’S TECHNOLOGICAL WORLD AND WORKPLACE.
