5 Truths You Must Know

• Courts view social media as a "high risk" HR issue, not a PIO issue. A post can permanently destroy a person's reputation worldwide.

• Under the new federal standards, decisionmakers are personally liable for inadequate training, and employees are sued individually for social media mistakes. These cases can wipe out your life savings.

• Policies aren't enough on high liability issues. You must show proof that all employees received outside expert social media liability training.

• Employees use their personal devices for work-related communications. Therefore, you are liable for employee social media mishaps on personal devices and accounts.

• Personal liability insurance isn't your safety net. Most social media cases are ruled as willful; insurance doesn't cover willful conduct.

4 Key Training Requirements

• Test The Adequacy Of Your Previous Training

• Social Media is a highly specialized area of the law. Your instructor must be a court qualified social media attorney expert.

• Having your busy in-house attorney or non-lawyer attend a few conferences doesn't qualify them a social media law expert.

• Your course content must focus on the hidden liabilities of the new social media speech laws, especially off-duty speech.
