Listen to internet radio with Steve Boese on Blog Talk Radio

This week on the show social media employment law expert Eric Meyer makes a return to the HR Happy Hour to talk about the evolving and important topic of the company use of social media, social networking in the organization, and the law.

Since the last time Eric was on the show a couple of years back several significant changes have occurred. First off, the use of social media and social networking platforms by organizations has exploded. It used to be clever to see a 'like us on Facebook' in an advertisement, and today fully branded Twitter hashtag campaigns are common. Second, an emerging marketing, branding, and social media and digital ecosystem of new and leading practices has emerged, influencing how organizations are choosing to interact in social media. Third, many individual employees are seeing their personal brands and images bolstered by their use of social media in their job capacity, placing additional pressure on them and on their leaders. And last, more cases, opinions, and  rulings related to how employee and employer use, ownership, and policies around social media have been developing in the last few years.

So will all that said, we thought it was time for a little refresher course - to try and get you caught up with what has been happening in the legal world with respect to social media use in the enterprise while you have been busy poking people on Facebook.

Eric is a fantastic guest and it should be a fun show and I hope you can join us!

It's not what you know, it's who you know. That old business axiom has been around since the rolodex and filofax days, but it likely has never been more true than it is today for the modern organization. Tapping in to the knowledge, professional, and social network connections of employees, alumni, partners, and even fans is fast becoming a key competitive differentiator for many progressive companies.

But how does a enlightened leader take these ideas, which are kind of abstract, and distill and improve on them such that they become actionable and deliverable assets? What are the relevant networks and approaches for organizations to support, develop, and maintain? Can you really keep alumni engaged and valued after they leave? How open or closed should these networks be?

Joining us on the show to talk about the power and potential of networks will be:


Anne Berkowitch CEO of SelectMinds, along with



Jim Milton Director of Product Marketing at SelectMinds.

I hope you can join us for what should be an interesting and fun show.
