There is no doubt that most businesses use social media and collaboration tools such as social business software of some kind or another and embrace the benefits that these can bring. Even as far back as 2009, a global Manpower Survey found that businesses identified the main benefits of using social media as; brand building, fostering collaboration and communication, as a way of recruiting new talent, improving employee engagement and driving innovation. But there are also risks associated with the use of social media by employees.

This seminar, in association with Red Anchor Recruitment, examines the main legal risks that can arise in the workplace between a business and its workforce and how to mitigate those risks.
