Is it ever okay for companies to look at their employees’ social media profiles? If you are a surreptitious searcher, we want to know: have you ever found anything, and have you acted on it?

Social media is already permeating most aspects of our everyday lives, and people are increasingly sharing their experiences within work time, too. Whether you ‘like’ social media or not, we’re hearing more from employees: postal workers are sharing their rounds, retail workers are introducing us to their shifts, and office workers are creating dance routines for us all to watch.

So, as HR leaders, how are you able to incorporate social media into your policies that fit in with the ever-evolving world of social media?

Join us as we take a deep dive into social media privacy, context and brand for companies.
