According to a recent survey, social media is the No. 1 challenge for small business owners. Allow me to offer a solution.
Last month I had the pleasure of presenting, Think Before You Click! Managing Workplace Social Media. It's an hour-long run-through of myriad reputational and legal issues that employers face when the employees engage on social media.
(I wish YouTube picked a more flattering cover frame.)
Enjoy.
