Employee Speech: Politics, Social Media, and Employer Rights

In today’s polarized political and social landscape, maintaining cohesion in the workplace is difficult. A well-functioning workplace benefits from employees showing mutual respect to one another and the employer, with regard to both speech and conduct. However, depending on the specific speech or conduct in question, the law may limit an employer’s authority. This webinar will provide an introduction to those limits, offer guidance on social media use in and out of the workplace, and walk-through several examples of common work-related scenarios implicating these limits.
