New England Home Care & Hospice Conference: Hey, They Can't Say That About Us, Can They? Navigating Employee Free Speech Rights in An Online World

Today’s technology gives every employee a social media platform in the palm of their hands. They can share their thoughts on everything from politics and entertainment to the quality of care your organization provides and how it treats its workers. Moreover, they can share it in real time – even at or between visits. This program will provide information about the legal protections around employee speech and employer rights to regulate that speech when it affects the workplace. We will discuss important elements to include in workplace policies, as well as practical approaches to addressing workplace disruptions caused by employees’ online activity.
