Social networking’s popularity has soared in the last few years. The likes of Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn continue to be among the top 5 most visited sites on the world wide web.

This usage has spilled over into the work place.

How does this affect employers?
Social networking offers employers both a significant opportunity and a new range of risks relating to the activities of its employees. 

Matthew Arnold & Baldwin are holding an event on social networking from an employer’s point of view.

The social networking talk will cover:
• Dealing with employees’ potentially damaging postings on social networking sites;
• The risks and permitted parameters involved in monitoring employees’ internet use;
• “Ownership” of social network client lists;
• The use of social networking sites as a recruitment tool and the legal risks involved; and
• There will be a round up of new legislation
