From Breakroom to Social Media: HR’s Roadmap to Protect Employee Well-being from Online Misconduct

Modern wellness benefits like flexible schedules and meditation apps are valuable. However, these efforts can be quickly undermined if an employee is threatening coworkers on Facebook or spreading AI-generated images on X.

In the past, workplace threats and toxic office gossip were confined to the break room or the water cooler. Today, digital natives make up the majority of the workforce and are more connected on social media than in the office. This shift has fundamentally changed where threats take place. The water cooler whispers of the past are now posted publicly on social media. 

Social media threats still have the same impact on employee well-being as traditional misconduct. These online risks harm morale, burnout, absenteeism, productivity, and retention. However, these digital threats cannot be resolved by traditional well-being initiatives like meditation apps or flexible schedules.

In this webinar, workplace misconduct expert Ben Mones will explore the connection between online misconduct and employee well-being. He’ll walk through best practices to help you effectively identify, address, and prevent these new threats to employee well-being so you can build a safer, trusting, and resilient workforce. 

You’ll learn:

• Why threats are moving online: Understand the digital shift and why online behavior poses real threats to employee well-being.
• The impact of online misconduct: Discover what makes online threats more harmful than the water cooler whispers of the past.
• The employee screening playbook: How to be a strategic business partner by addressing these risks through proactive screening and compliant oversight.

Watch now. Your employees depend on it.
