Responding to Employee Misconduct Away from the Workplace:

What options do employers have when faced with employee behavior away from the workplace that potentially harms the company?  In this presentation we will provide practical tips for responding to and disciplining employees for off-the-clock conduct and use of social media that may damage the employer’s reputation, expose the company to potential liability, or violate internal policies and values.
