Departing employees continue to walk away with sensitive employer information when they resign or are fired. Often times the employee uses a planned approach to take the information and uses it in a competing venture or new job. What can employers do to prevent this type of theft? This presentation will address the suggested policies and procedures employers should use from day one of the employment relationship through the departure. These range from confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements to non-compete/non-solicitation agreements. The presentation will also address practical solutions employers can use to protect proprietary information.

Though no policy or agreement is foolproof there are definite steps that should be considered to thwart the former employee and avoid having to go to the courthouse.

This program will discuss all aspects of legally effective incident investigation and management, arising from a variety of crisis situations. Basic principles of accident investigation will be examined, as well as management of OSHA/MSHA inspections arising from occupational accidents, insurance and tort/contractor liability issues, media management, staffing, and site security. Given that improperly managed incidents can frequently give rise to OSHA/MSHA prosecution or civil tort and contract liability, learning the basic principles will help to limit legal exposures for companies and their managers. Participants will learn proper approaches to root cause analysis as well as proactive steps that can be taken to avoid crisis situations in the future.

Every day brings news of the latest law involving employers’ use of background checks. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has intensified its scrutiny of hiring practices, exposing employers to greater risk of discrimination lawsuits.

Armed with real-world examples, EmployeeScreenIQ’s Jason Morris will examine the changing legal landscape that employers must operate against. Jason addresses these new guidelines along with the “ban the box” legislation. Jason also speaks to the controversy surrounding employers’ use of social networking sites like LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter to influence hiring decisions.

Organizations shouldn’t be dissuaded from executing background checks, but these new guidelines underscore the need for employers to be vigilant in their compliance measures.
