An employee shares a controversial post. A private message involving a colleague is circulated. An online comment attracts unwanted attention to the business.

The conduct happened outside work and on a personal account, but does that mean it is none of the employer’s business?

Knowing when personal expression crosses the line into workplace misconduct isn’t always straightforward.

Join us for this practical webinar to understand when online behaviour may become a workplace issue and how to respond when the answer is not clear-cut.
