Everybody’s Business: Why You Can't Afford to Ignore Privacy and Information Security Issues in the Workplace
In an age of constant online connectivity, most professionals in the United States spend many of their working hours communicating electronically – juggling personal and business emails, accessing applications using mobile devices, employing global positioning systems to guide them to their destinations, engaging in social networking, blogging, tweeting, commenting, posting, sharing and beyond. With the ubiquitous presence of technology in our personal and professional lives, how can businesses effectively manage the flow of information in and out of their organizations?
The panel discussion will address key legal and business concerns related to the use of online technologies in the workplace. We will explore how corporate information management intersects with employee privacy in the context of an explosion of borderless data, some of which is being created using social media with very little formal regulation. Learn what to consider when monitoring, collecting, storing and producing electronic information, and what both employers and employees should know about protecting the security of personal and business data.
Our panel discussion moderator will be Jessica Catlow, an associate in the Employment, Labor & Benefits section at Mintz Levin where she specializes in executive compensation and employment law.
Our speakers this month will be Kate Paslin and Melinda McLellan.
