With the 2024 general election on the horizon, politics have an increased tendency to find their way into the workplace. Whether at work, off-site, or on social media – how can (or should) employers respond to a potential problem caused by 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.
Implementing best practices for managing employee conflict which arises out of controversial speech or activity.
Managing employee social media.
Drafting neutral policies related to employee speech.
