Managing Employee Off-Duty Behaviour
What your employees do in their spare time can come back to bite your business, but when can you actually do something about it?
Off-duty conduct issues are becoming increasingly common, and with social media putting everything under the spotlight, it’s more complicated than ever to determine where personal freedom ends and workplace responsibilities begin.
Recent high-profile cases, such as US employees being fired for celebrating the assassination of a prominent political activist, have brought this issue into sharper focus.
To help you understand your rights and obligations, LegalVision is hosting a free webinar, Work Hard, Play Harder: Managing Employee Off-Duty Behaviour.
Joel Hayden (Practice Leader) and Eleanor Kenny (Lawyer) will discuss:
- understanding when your staff’s off-duty conduct legitimately becomes an employment matter and when you can act;
- developing clear and enforceable contract clauses and social media policies that protect your business and your staff’s rights to privacy;
- how to manage current workplace challenges, including social media misconduct, political activities and reputational risks; and
- guidance on investigating incidents, managing affected staff and teams, and issuing appropriate disciplinary actions.
Following the webinar, there will be a live Q&A. If you cannot make it, you can still register, and be sent a copy of the recording. You are also eligible to receive a free legal consultation.
