A New Guide for Private Employers Managing Employee Speech in the Workplace

Lane Powell 'Best Practices For Best Employers™' Webinar Series | Virtual

 

Join us for our consistently popular and informative annual "Best Practices for Best Employers™" labor and employment webinar series. Crafted for in-house counsel, HR professionals and employers of all sizes, this series is ideal for those who are eager to stay at the forefront of employment best practices and the changing policies that will continue to shape the rapidly evolving workplace.   Access the full series schedule »

Session Description

Frequent protests involving the 2020 political campaign, Black Lives Matter and COVID-19 require that employers construct a plan on managing speech in the workplace.

This session reviews:
 

  • Is there “freedom of speech” in the private workplace?
  • What types of “concerted activity” employee speech are protected by the National Labor Relations Act?
  • Does an employee have the right to “drop the F-bomb” when speaking with the employer?
  • What types of policies (like non-solicitation policies) are effective in the workplace to manage employee political speech?
  • Are there limits to a private employer’s political speech in the workplace?
