Lately, discussions regarding social and political events are finding their way into the workplace more than ever before. Whether at the office, off-site, or on social media – how can (or should) employers respond to potentially problematic employee speech?

In this webinar, Barran Liebman Partner Chris Morgan will discuss best practices for limiting legal liability and balancing employee rights with policies that foster a safe, respectful, and productive work environment.

Key topics will include the following:

Distinguishing which free speech rights do or don’t exist in the workplace.

• Identifying protected classes (such as religion) which can be implicated by employee speech.

• Recognizing activities which trigger an employer’s duty to act under the law.

• Implementing best practices for managing employee conflict which arise out of controversial speech or activity.

• Drafting neutral policies related to employee speech.
