Description: Now more than ever, employees are engaging in off-duty conduct that impacts the workplace. From attendance at political rallies and social movements, posting on social media, and other outside conduct, employees’ activities are often on display for all to see. Whether the conduct paints the employer in a bad light, makes co-workers or customers uncomfortable, causes COVID-19 exposures or simply causes the employer to question whether to continue the individual’s employment, employers must keep in mind the myriad of laws, policies, business considerations and media attention that come into play when addressing outside activities. This program will give employers a roadmap for analyzing the legal, business and media risks associated with off-duty conduct by employees.
