Description
Employees’ actions outside the workplace can create headaches inside the workplace. From social media posts to side hustles to criminal charges, HR often gets pulled into tricky questions: when is off-duty conduct the company’s business—and when is it not?
In this fast-paced session, we’ll explore the legal and practical boundaries for HR when addressing employee conduct outside of work. You’ll learn what laws limit employer action, when discipline is appropriate, and how to create policies that protect your organization without overstepping.
