There are significant challenges facing today’s insurance organizations as they attempt to hire and manage a generation increasingly dependent on and addicted to social media. This seminar will help insurance organizations identify the legalities of using social media in the pre-hire process; and manage employees in the proper use of social media once they are hired.

Developing a social media policy that is practical given today’s social media realities is a work in progress; this seminar guides you in developing and refining your social media policy. Case law regarding employees’ uses of social media that negatively impacts organizations is discussed as is the best way to manage and intervene with social policy infringements.

Where the courts stand on the use of social media is changing daily. New court decisions expand rights in some instances while drawing clear “lines in the sand” in other cases. As your clients face social media liability, the knowledge you gain in this webinar will help you guide them toward a social media risk management approach that can reduce employment actions for them, as well as for your organization.
