The Original Social Media

The Reaction
• “You are deliberately misrepresenting how you look when you
hunt.”
• “What are you doing telling everyone about our hunting party? The competing clans will all find out!”
• “Did you clear it with the chief that you’re just splattering this
where everyone can see?”
• “Great, now the deer are going to sue us.”
• 27 clubs up (Pleistocene era likes)

888-580-8373 | www.hcca-info.org
The Change?
• Speed of communications
– Can update faster than we can think
• Ability to reach so many people
• Put another way: Never before has mankind had the opportunity to
offend so many people so many ways and so permanently

Proliferation of Choices
• MySpace
• Flickr
• Google+
• Ning
• Plus a thousand more in a thousand garages
11
888-580-8373 | www.hcca-info.org
A New Equation
• How we think of risk:
– Risk = Hazard
• Sandman’s Equation:
– Risk = Hazard + Outrage
• Social Media Equation
– Risk = (Hazard + Outrage) x Social Media

888-580-8373 | www.hcca-info.org
Ethics Resource Center Data
• Examined social media usage in two studies
– 2011 National Business Ethics Survey
– 2012 supplemental survey
• Key findings:
– >1 in 10 employees spend at least 30% of their workday linked to one or
more social networks
– 3/4s of workers surveyed report belonging to one or more social
networks (as of 2011)
– 72% of workers 30+ take part in social networks
– 72% report using social networks during every workday
– 28% spend an hour or more each day this way
16
888-580-8373 | www.hcca-info.org
Ethics Resource Center Data
• Less likely to social network at work:
– Employees who intend to remain at the company for 5+ years
– Non-management
• More likely to social network at work:
– Under age 30
– Middle managers
– Top managers
• Segmented workers into three groups:
– Non-work social networkers (28%)
– Moderate social networks at work (62%)
– Active social networks: 30%+ of their time at work on social networking
sites (10%)
17
888-580-8373 | www.hcca-info.org
Ethics Resource Center Data
• Active Social Networkers (ASN)profile:
– 4 of 10 in middle management
– 47% are under 30 (vs. about 25% of total workforce)
• The more active the social networker the more likely they are to use
a mixture of work and personal equipment, even at work
– Makes control more difficult
• Evidence that relationships at work are now also on social networks
as well
– 42% of supervisors have an online connection to an underling
• 60% among ASNs
– Majority of supervisors say posts have an impact on their thinking about employees

Ethics Resource Center Data
• Some good news about feelings of responsibility
– 79% consider how their employer would react before posting work-
related content
– 64% consider how employer would react to personal information posted
– 84% of supervisors consider what their reports would think
– 61% report being unlikely to post about their company being in the news
– BUT: ASNs are fare more likely to share work-related content via social media
19
888-580-8373 | www.hcca-info.org
Ethics Resource Center Data
• ASNs face greater ethics risk than others
– Witness more misconduct
– Report more pressure to compromise standards
– Report experiencing more retaliation
– Oddly, though, they have positive views of management’s commitment
to ethics
• Not surprisingly, ASNs are also less wedded to their jobs
– 72% report being likely to change employers within five years (vs. 40%
for rest of US workers)

Don’t Forget The Risks of “Controlled” Social Media
• It’s not just nurses and their patients
– HIPAA is just one risk
• Marketing department and others with official roles often make mistakes
– Don’t appreciate that social media is official media
– Rely on automation

Notable Errors
• Kenneth Cole during Egyptian revolt:
– “Millions are in uproar #Cairo. Rumor is they heard our new spring collection is now available online at….”
– Lesson: Tying into breaking issues has risks
• MSN
– “Bee Gees co-founder Robin Gibb dies at 62. Click ‘like’ to pay your respects.”
– Lesson: “Like” can be a poor choice to show support
• NRA the day of the Aurora Shooting
– “Good morning, shooters. Happy Friday! Weekend plans?”
– Lessons: Pre-scheduled tweets can be dangerous. When something big happens, be sure you haven’t just said something that looks bad.
• Chrysler
– “I find it ironic that Detroit is known as the #motorcity and yet no one here knows how to f------ drive
– Lesson: Make sure you’re using the right account

888-580-8373 | www.hcca-info.org
One More Wrinkle: BYOD
• Rising trend in business of BYOD: Bring Your Own Device
• Challenges in setting controls of what employee does on his or her
own property
28
888-580-8373 | www.hcca-info.org
Legal Considerations
• Employment-related
– Discrimination
– Harassment
– Labor
• Privacy and data protection
• Defamation and free speech
• Intellectual property
29
888-580-8373 | www.hcca-info.org
Legal Considerations
• Confidentiality/Privacy
– Disclosures by staff
– Prying into private lives
• Liability for establishing the forum for expression
• Material disclosures
• May not be possible to restrict or discipline for lawful activity outside
of the workplace

NLRB
• “The National Labor Relations Act protects the rights of employees
to act together to address conditions at work, with or without a union. This protection extends to certain work-related conversations
conducted on social media, such as Facebook and Twitter.”
– The caution: “Employer policies should not be so sweeping that they
prohibit the kinds of activity protected by federal labor law, such as the discussion of wages or working conditions among employees.”
• Even disclosing confidential information may counts as protected
– The reassurance: “An employee’s comments on social media are generally not protected if they are mere gripes not made in relation to
group activity among employees.”
– The challenge: What’s a gripe and what’s a discussion?
31
888-580-8373 | www.hcca-info.org
NLRB
• Multiple reports issued explaining actions
– Business community still uncertain
– See www.nlrb.gov/node/5078
• Consistent focus on Section 7 rights to concerted action and to offer
mutual aid or protection
– Can be difficult to see that a policy calling for not disclosing confidential
information could be seen as a violation
• Salary data is confidential

SEC
• April 2013 began permitting publicly-traded companies to announce
earnings on social media
– Investors must first be informed that information will be posted there
– “But the next time material information is disclosed on an executive’s
Facebook page without the company alerting all shareholders to look there for information, the matter will likely be met with an SEC lawsuit
instead of a report.”
