We are so dependant on email and the internet that we often forget about the legal liability that can arise and cause harm to our business.

The technical capability and power that organizations provide to their employees is unbelievable but is rarely viewed as an area of potential risk - and what training do we give to our employees about those risks?  -  Generally none!

KEY LEARNING POINTS:

• email risks and misconceptions.

• how to avoid online harassment, discrimination and bullying.

• vicarious liability.

• internet traps, scams and fraud.

• legal liability awareness for defamation, confidentiality and contractual and privacy breach.

In this program employees and managers will learn about the everyday risk and liability associated with electronic communications in the workplace and how these risks can seriously effect them and their organisation.  By identifying and understanding these risks employees, will be better equipped to avoid liability and therefore avoid loss and damage.

This program is superbly produced and delivers a clear outline of internet and email liability issues, and how to avoid them.
