Cohen aimed at addressing the legal and business concerns surrounding employee and corporate use of social media.
Today as employees confuse the line between business and personal – electronic gaffes, outbursts and spontaneous blasts can span the globe in seconds. Adam Cohen outlines how businesses and organizations can create and communicate policy the right way, and confidently manage the risks associated with social media.
According to Mr. Cohen, “People are now overwhelmed with the ever-increasing social media outlets around us—Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter—and I am bombarded with requests for guidance from companies and professionals on how to manage their social media. My book directly addresses their needs and concerns around social media and risk and litigation.”
Attorneys, corporate policy-makers and communication professionals can master the legal landscape and prepare for the coming wave of social media civil litigation with the book’s hands-on and practical approach:
- How to best manage employment matters and regulatory concerns involving social media
- Insights on how to successfully navigate conflicts between policy and privacy
