Leaders Luncheon with Nancy Flynn: E-Policy - How to Communicate Online Without Getting Sued, Fired, or Publicly Humiliated

From Twitter and Facebook to E-Mail and Texting…there simply is no privacy online. Employers, courts, regulators, the media, and the public are likely to access your e-mail messages, blog posts, Tweets, YouTube videos, text messages, and surfing history one day—if they haven’t done so already.  As a result, you may find your career savaged, your credibility ruined, and your company in court—or out of business.

In recent years, we’ve seen online gaffes trigger billion-dollar jury awards and million-dollar regulatory fines, topple stock prices, sink careers, and fuel media feeding frenzies. Don’t let online missteps sink your company or career. Join ePolicy Institute Executive Director Nancy Flynn as she uncovers the risks inherent in electronic business communication and shares best practices designed to minimize potentially costly and protracted risks.  
 

  • Inappropriate Tweets & Posts Trigger Lawsuits & Regulatory Audits
  • E-Mail, Tweets & Posts Create Electronic DNA
  • Leaked Secrets Sink Companies & Sabotage Careers
