Internet Usage & Social Networking

Employees’ posts on industry-related or social networking sites and even personal blogs may unintentionally reveal trade secrets, insider information or describe the organization in a negative light. This course illustrates best practices that will ensure professional and effective online activity, and also shows the dangers and pitfalls of improper or haphazard online activity and instructs employees how to avoid inappropriate behavior. The course includes a basic Internet usage policy, which will be helpful for those organizations without one, or in developing their own.
