Slides presented at 2014 NTEN Nonprofit Technology Conference.
As the manager of your nonprofit’s social media presence, knowing what you (and your colleagues) can say or how you should respond gets tricky. Establishing solid social media governance policies and understanding your legal and compliance obligations are both important aspects of your overall social media strategy. But, where do you turn when you encounter a dilemma that isn’t easily solved by turning to the law or an existing policy? In this highly interactive session, we’ll discuss real-world situations, explore using ethical frameworks to resolve social media conundrums, and integrating ethical considerations into your social media policies, training, and practices.
Takeaways:
* New ideas for how to set and manage the tone of your organization's social media community
* A better understanding of the legal implications of your social media policies and practices
* Ways to balance the ethics and opportunities of social media
I was on the panel with Debra Askanase (Community Organizer 2.0), Carly Leinheiser (Perlman & Perlman, LLP), and Ashley Lusk (Threespot).

50 Shades of Social Media: Navigating Policies, Laws, and Ethics Debra Askanase
Do you struggle with what you (and your colleagues) can and should say, or how you should respond to situations using social media? In this presentation for the Nonprofit Technology Conference, we consider real-world situations, walk through five ethical frameworks you may use to resolve social media conundrums, and look at ways to integrate ethical considerations into your social media policies, training, and practices. This presentation also walks through the case study of Phonedog v. Kravitz, a case involving who owns Twitter followers, and social media policy do's, don'ts, and supporting resources.
This presentation was developed and presented at the 2014 Nonprofit Technology Conference by Debra Askanase (Community Organizer 2.0, National Brain Tumor Society), Farra Trompeter (Big Duck), Carly Leinheiser (Perlman and Perlman), and Ashley Lusk (Threespot). The presentation design was created by Threespot.

Pursuant to an informal, bilateral NLRB settlement agreement, Wendy’s International LLC agreed to modify its handbook Rules. The unmodified Rules were found to be “unlawful and overboard.” Here is a look at the Rules before and after modification:
Whether or not your organization is using social media for business, your employees probably are using it. Whether they're engaging in a personal or professional way, your company needs a social media policy.
In today’s dynamic business world, it is imperative to be able to react proactively to changes in the macro and micro environments with a strategy for all of your business’s investments, including their most important and largest asset, their employees.

Explore the skills gap facing organizations today
Analyze the role of workforce and educators in solving the skills gap
Learn how to identify lifelong learners who will be able to upskill and reskill over time

In this age of digital transformation, the speed of business propels at breakneck pace. Thirty years ago, companies moved much slower, akin to a Class-II whitewater rapid. The executives at the helm of the lead boat negotiated the rapids dragging everyone else behind in another boat. Support functions and many individuals definitely didn’t have a place in the lead boat, but it didn’t matter much, as the convoy still succeeded moving at a manageable pace.
But today, companies demand agility, responsiveness, and foresight as they traverse dangerous Class-VI rapids. Insufficient or ineffective communication fostered or hindered by Relevancy of individuals and Teams across all disciplines leaves your organization perched precariously on the edge of a major crisis, potentially provoking financial catastrophe, deteriorating customer loyalty, and brand presence.
Damage comes in more insidious forms as well, including the repercussions of ineffective production and communication, or the cancer of a toxic organizational culture. Despite these treacherous waters, we are still often not asked to be part of the lead boat. Pat Bodin, the best-selling author of Get in the Boat: A Journey to Relevance, will discuss organizational relevance and actionable items to give you the opportunity to earn a seat in the lead boat.
Impacts of Organizational Relevance include:
For the Individual:
Elevates their awareness of the needs of all groups within the organization
Broadens their visibility to the core operations in support of its’ needs
Creates improved job satisfaction and belonging
For the Organization:
Strengthens the working relationships across all disciplines and improves retention
Fosters Talent Development
Drives performance through common focus between individuals and groups
THE AGILITY SHIFT: T-MOBILE DEVELOPS LEADERS FOR A VUCA WORLDHuman Capital Media
A volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous (VUCA) workplace requires a distinct set of leadership competencies: non-hierarchical influence, the ability to rapidly align across functions, creativity for drawing insights across domains, and most of all, “empathy,” the linchpin leadership skill in the modern workplace. Empathy allows us to imagine the world from different perspectives, unite across functions, generations, regions. Join Melissa Lanier of T-Mobile to learn about “The Agility Shift,” an award-winning leader development offering designed to equip people managers to thrive in an uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environment. The program, which will utilize cutting-edge virtual simulation technology, is designed to help leaders respond quickly and increase resilience by immersively preparing them for stressful encounters. Impact is measured on an individual, function and business level. Collectively, managers report learning how to “avoid tunnel vision,” "think on their feet," “respond rather than react” and embrace a positive mindset.
FUTUREPROOF YOUR ORGANIZATION: SUCCESSION PLANNING IN THE SKILLS ECONOMYHuman Capital Media
According to Bersin by Deloitte, only 33% of millennials believe their organizations are using their skills well, and 42% say they are likely to leave because they are not learning fast enough. Developing new knowledge, new skills and new abilities is critical to futureproofing your organization’s evolving talent needs. Additionally, assessing the abilities of your talent is essential to understanding the profiles of your employees and ensuring the right role is filled with the right ability. Whether employees need development or have mastered success, understanding the skill profile of your talent is critical to futureproof organizational growth and innovation. This session explores ways to fine-tune your talent’s abilities to perform their job duties as well as future ones.
Attendees of this presentation will have a clear understanding of:
Methods to assess the skills and abilities of your talent to ensure the right role is filled with the right employee.
Ways to incorporate development, skills assessments and succession planning into employee performance conversations.
How to create now the company culture you want to be then.
Many companies seem to have fallen victim to the ominous skills gap – but only because they’ve found it’s easier to place blame somewhere than to look at what they can do to fix it. If you’re struggling to find qualified candidates, you might need to take a deeper look at your organization and ask some pointed questions. Are there areas of the recruiting process that are lending to skill gaps? Have you done a formal assessment to uncover skill gaps? Are you using modern learning methods to bridge gaps by upskilling your current workforce?
Join Katie Miller from BizLibrary as we re-evaluate potential root causes of your organization’s skill gaps and discuss what can be done to fill them efficiently.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
The factors that could be contributing to your skill gaps, and how to find and address the root causes
How to re-evaluate what a “qualified candidate” is in order to create more relevant and realistic talent expectations
How to start uncovering your organization’s skill gaps with a formal assessment
How to use modern training methods to bridge skill gaps by upskilling your workforce
Behind every successful organization is a great team of leaders. But despite billions of dollars spent each year on leadership development programs most companies are still failing their next generation of emerging leaders. In fact, according to Gallup, 50% of attrition is due to poor managers––which makes that the biggest driver of employee disengagement.
So why are leadership development programs failing? And how can we fix it?
Join us for a live webinar where we discuss reasons these programs fail and how to keep your leadership development on track. We’ll explore:
How to identify who should be a leader in the first place
The big, pervasive problem with leadership development
What to do with great employees who might not be cut out for management
The best traits to bring out of your emerging leaders
And more!

Practical ways to get started driving creativity and innovation that will make a difference to your customers and within your organization
REACHING THE BLUE COLLAR WORKFORCE: HOW POLARIS DEVELOPS TALENT IN 2019Human Capital Media
Traditional L&D isn’t obsolete, but it has become outdated. That’s why we collected data from nearly 800 workers, managers, and leaders from around the globe to gain some insights into where L&D and talent leaders can be more effective. The survey says…..L&D is falling short for the modern workforce. In fact, our respondents gave their employers an overall Net Promoter Score of -25 on their learning and development strategies. But many business leaders know this already. What they don’t know is how to fix it. The good news is that employees still love learning and they’re looking for organizational guidance. By honing in on the data and insights that impact how people — and companies — learn, you can make smarter investments in your most valuable assets: the skills of your people. Lucky for you, this event also includes a quick case study from Booking.com on how they are making this data come to life in their organization.
Register for this webinar to learn:
The difference between learning and acquiring new skills
How to apply hard metrics to your L&D strategy
How to align your employees’ learning goals with those of your larger company
How Polaris is putting the insights from the research to work at their organization
HIRING & FIRING AROUND THE WORLD: AVOID LEGAL TRIPWIRES IN THE TOP COUNTRIES ...Human Capital Media
The war for talent is heating up and businesses are smart to consider qualified, passionate candidates from around the world.
That said, hiring and firing in countries other than the U.S. comes with interesting (and often surprising) challenges.
In the U.S., companies can hire quickly as business entities are already established. They can fire quickly as well, so long as the reason isn’t illegal.
What many executive teams overlook is that this efficiency isn’t the same when expanding and adding team members globally. Internationally, hiring without setting up a subsidiary is impossible. And the concept of at-will employment, where companies can let go of employees at any time, does not exist.
What does this mean for your international expansion plans and your business? What would normally be an uneventful employment action or termination in the U.S. could blindside your company in an international context.
Navigating the intricacies of country-specific labor laws can feel like a minefield of potential legal exposure, expensive litigation, and costly payouts. It’s critical to be prepared before you make the first international hire.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
3 things every HR lead needs to know when it’s time to hire globally
Surprising facts about employment law and benefits packages in EMEA, APAC and more
What U.S.-based HR teams need to know about the termination process in key expansion countries (and real stories from international HR specialists on the ground)
INNOVATION GENERATION: THE BIG HR TECH DISCONNECT WEBINARHuman Capital Media

Dont wait what 300 ld leaders have learned about building data fluencyHuman Capital Media
Data science and AI are impacting many industries globally, from healthcare and government to agriculture and finance. Everybody needs to be able to work with data the way everybody needed to start using email 20 years ago. As we wrote in Harvard Business Review, “Very few companies expect only professional writers to know how to write. So why ask only professional data scientists to understand and analyze data, at least at a basic level?”
But what value can data fluency actually add, what are best practices to build it into your organization, and what are the biggest challenges that businesses encounter in data-driven transformations?
To answer these questions and more, we conducted a survey of over 300 Learning and Development leaders from diverse industries including healthcare, technology, consumer goods, government, and finance. Join this webinar with Dr. Hugo Bowne-Anderson, a data scientist and educator at DataCamp, to find out what we discovered and what 300 L&D leaders have learned about building data fluency.
Learning Objectives:
What value can data fluency actually add?
What are the best practices to build data fluency in your organization?
What are the biggest challenges that businesses encounter in data-driven transformations?
As businesses become more technological (AI and robotics), there is a challenge and opportunity to, paradoxically, make them more human. The Business Roundtable talked about the importance of human stakeholders over just profit — but how close are we? Are those nice words? What would it take to make business and change more human? As a change, ethics and leadership expert with 40 years of experience, Paul Gibbons will talk us through conclusions from his new book “IMPACT.”
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
1) Is the Fourth Industrial Revolution really "a thing?” What is it and what makes our time special?
2) What are the human implications of new technologies? Who will benefit? What is the potential harm?
3) What can workplaces and leaders do to equip themselves for these workplace transformations (future of work)?
Courage (noun): the mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty. Author Ryan Berman has devoted the past three years interviewing many of the most courageous people and leaders on the planet. Through this experience, he learned that the companies that win share courageousness as a trait. Berman unveils how every brand can unlock courage in their people, leaders or culture. This presentation culminates with ways for the audience to take action today to transform from a Coward Brand or Stasis Brand into a Courage Brand.
After this discussion you’ll be able to:
Build a culture of empowered, courageous behavior and experimentation.
Utilize a modern day, step-by-step framework to becoming a Courage Brand.
Overcome the clarity epidemic we currently find ourselves in.
Create true conviction and healthy retention with your best people.

Triple Play NLRB Decision
In Three D, LLC (Triple Play), 361 NLRB No. 31
(2014), the NLRB provides useful guidance for
employers on drafting a social media policy without
raising a red flag for the NLRB.
The following is an excerpt of a conversation in
which two employees were fired for alleged
disloyalty after posts on Facebook were critical of
the owners.
17. 17
Posts - Conversation
Sanzone, Spinella, and LaFrance, who left the Respondent's employ in
November 2010, have Facebook accounts. On January 31, LaFrance
posted the following “status update” to her Facebook page
• Former employee Jamie LaFrance: Maybe someone should do the owners
of Triple Play a favor and buy it from them. They can't even do the tax
paperwork correctly!!! Now I OWE money... Wtf!!!!
• Ken DeSantis (a Facebook “friend” of LaFrance's and a customer): “You
owe them money... that's fucked up.”
• Danielle Marie Parent (Triple Play employee): “I FUCKING OWE MONEY
TOO!”
• LaFrance: “The state. Not Triple Play. I would never give that place a penny
of my money. Ralph [DelBuono] fucked up the paperwork...as per usual.”

Facebook Posts – Conversation Con’t
• LaFrance: “It's all Ralph's fault. He didn't do the paperwork right. I'm calling
the labor board to look into it bc he still owes me about 2000 in paychecks.”
• (At this juncture, employee Spinella selected the “Like” option under
LaFrance's initial status update. The discussion continued as follows.)
• Parent: “Let me know what the board says because I owe $323 and ive
never owed.”
• LaFrance: “I'm already getting my 2000 after writing to the labor board and
them investigating but now I find out he fucked up my taxes and I owe the
state a bunch. Grrr.
• LaFrance: “Hahahaha he's such a shady little man. He prolly pocketed it all
from all our paychecks. I've never owed a penny in my life till I worked for
him. Thank goodness I got outta there.”
• Sanzone: “I owe too. Such an asshole.”

Poll: Can the Company Legally
Fire Spinella + Sanzone?
q Yes
q No
20. 20
Can the Company
Legally Fire Spinella & Sanzone?
Answer: No.
A. Statements were not defamatory.
1. “I owe taxes” was true.
2. Company did not prove that employees knew
statements were false and with reckless disregard that
they were false.
B. Facebook conversations were “concerted
activity.”
1. Multiple current employees
2. Involves working conditions - income tax withholdings.

Example of NLRB Approach
Triple Play Sports Social Media Policy
The Company supports the free exchange of information
and supports camaraderie among its employees. However,
when internet blogging, chat room discussions, e-mail, text
messages, or other forms of communication extend to
employees revealing confidential and proprietary information
about the Company, or engaging in inappropriate
discussions about the company, management, and/or co-
workers, the employee may be violating the law and is
subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination
of employment.…In the event state or federal law precludes
this policy, then it is of no force or effect.
23. 23
Is the Company’s
Policy Legal?
Answer: No.
Issue: Would employees reasonably construe the
language to prohibit concerted activity among employees
regarding working conditions or issues?
Board: Employees would reasonably see the rule as
prohibiting any discussions about their terms and
conditions of employment that management deems
“inappropriate,” which is “sufficiently imprecise” to
encompass Section 7 concerted activity.

Company's opinion or point of view (when it does not), or
it may reflect negatively on the Company. If you wish to
make a complaint or report a complaint or troubling
behavior, please follow the complaint procedure in the
applicable Company policy (e.g., Speak Out).

Internal Use of Company
Owned Media – Do’s and Don’ts
Don’t - prohibit only discussions about unions or
wages or working conditions and allow discussion
or solicitation on other subjects.
Do - A ban on all non-work
related use of the company’s
email is acceptable.
28. 28
Internal Use of Company
Owned Media – Do’s and Don’ts
Don’t - Have an email/
messaging policy that bars
nonwork use of an employee’s
email that “may be disruptive” or
“offensive” or “harmful to morale,”
but allows other nonwork email.
Such communications could be
understood to include criticism of
working conditions.
29. 29
Internal Use of Company
Owned Media – Do’s and Don’ts
Don’t - Use phrases such as
• “language the Company deems appropriate” or
• “that may violate Company policies” or
• “not in the Company’s best interests.”
The NLRB will view these as reasonably leading
an employee to believe that discussing wages or
working conditions is not allowed.

well as their vendors.
35. 35
Nine states have mandated the removal of
conviction history questions from job applications

job posting?
It depends!
42. 42

Employer Strategies for Exempt
Employees Now Making < $47,476/year
• Your employee Paula is making $40,000 a year
now. She is an administrative employee. She
manages the linen department of a department
store. She supervises five employees, manages
their schedules, and is involved in the physical
layout and display of the department.
• How should Paula be paid starting December 1,
2016?
59. 59
Employer Strategies for Exempt
Employees Now Making < $47,476/year
1. Do nothing
– Based on the DOL data, the new rule won’t affect
60% of affected employees, but make sure to track
hours and institute a “no overtime” policy.
60. 60
Employer Strategies for Exempt
Employees Now Making < $47,476/year
2. Raise salaries
‒ If an exempt employee is making close to $47,476/
year, increase salary to keep exempt status
61. 61
3A. Pay overtime above a salary
o Regular Salary 1st 40 hours
o Hourly rate = weekly salary/40
o Overtime rate = 1.5 x hourly rate
Example A: Paula usually works 40 hours a week and
earns a salary of $40,000 or $769 a week. One week
due to a store emergency she works 5 hours of
overtime. Her regular hourly rate is $769/40 = $19.23.
Her overtime pay would be 5 x 19.23 x 1.5 = $144.23 as
opposed to straight time pay of $96.15,

Employer Strategies for Exempt
Employees Now Making < $47,476/year
3B. Pay overtime above a salary
If employee usually works more than 40 hour, pay
straight time salary for usual work week
o Hourly rate = regular salary/hours in work week
o Overtime rate = 1.5 x hourly rate
Example B: Ahmed regularly works 50 hours a week as a manager
of Beef-fil-et, a fast food restaurant and is receiving $40,000 per
year or $769 per week. The company decides to keep the $40,000
salary + the 50 hours per week. Ahmed’s hourly rate is $769/50 =
$15.38. This would cover straight overtime pay for 50 hours. In a
normal week, the employee would have to pay the half time
premium for ten hours or $7.69 x 10 = $79.60
63. 63
Employer Strategies for Exempt
Employees Now Making < $47,476/year
4. Work backwards, recalculate hourly rate plus
time + one half to keep salary effectively the same.
For Paula:
40 (hr. rate) + 10 (hr. rate x 1.5) = $769
40 (hr. rate) + 15 (hr. rate) = $769
55 (hr. rate) = $769
(hr. rate) = 769/55 = $13.98
