Jodie Braner, current Life & Employee Benefit Producer at P&J, recently contributed an article to the October 2009 Employee Benefit Advisor magazine. This is a monthly publication that serves a national market. Jodie’s article provided tips on the technology of managing social media from an employer perspective. Jodie provided insight from the employer perspective and as a potential new hire candidate to be cautious with the use of personal information and expression on a social media site. Often your personal sense of humor, story or picture may not provide the image and goal that best exemplifies your professional life. Employers need to be cautious if researching these social sites. As Fred Dawkins and Martin Heller of Freeman, Mathis and Gary outline, review of these sites could impact some state statutes on invasion of privacy.
