Open Course - Using Social Media at Work - Rights Responsibilities - Policies Procedures

Price:  £299.00+vat per delegate

Location: Birmingham City Centre

Date: 13 July 2017

A one-day workshop that explores good practice and effective policies for the use of social media at work.
Full Course Overview

The ever increasing number of tribunal cases revolving round staff’s use or abuse of social media at work means that all organisations and businesses need to ensure they have robust policies and procedures in place and that managers are properly trained in the staff rights and responsibilities when using social media at or in connection with work.
Having a blanket ban on use is not a viable solution. Social media is a highly effective business marketing tool and placing a blanket ban on its use at work is never going to work. Managers and staff need to understand who, how, when, where and why they can use social media at work and what the guidelines policies and procedures they need to adhere to when doing so.
This is especially important in the grey areas between the personal and professional use of social media at work.
This lively one day “Social Media at Work – Rights and Responsibilities” course covers all the latest case law and will enable you to either introduce or review your in house policies procedures from both an employment and a service delivery perspective.

Using Social Media at Work - Staff rights and responsibilities

Why you need a Policy NOW ! Two recent Employment Tribunal cases, one involving Face book and another one with Twitter have one clear message in common for modern employers – the urgent need to have clear up to date, precise policies and procedures in place about the use of Social Media at work. Both the cases profiled below could have been lost by the employer had they not previously taken proactive policy steps to keep up to date with an ever changing scene. Face Book The Face Book case arose from an unfair dismissal claim. The Employment Tribunal held that a pub manager was fairly dismissed for gross misconduct after she made inappropriate comments on Face book about two customers who had verbally abused and threatened her.   The Face Book chat took place while the employee was at work and did not reflect her upset or anger at the customers, but appeared to be a joke between friends.  However, a wider audience was able to look at her Face Book page, including r
