The paperless office is not yet here for most, but the vast amount of electronic information coursing through the average organization is bringing us closer and closer each day. Along with all the electronic information and use of mobile devices comes great opportunities, complex challenges and dangerous pitfalls.

This teleconference will address employment issues as they pertain to employees' use of personal digital assistants (such as BlackBerry's), cellular phones and laptop computers, and the rash of claims under the personal injury and workers' compensation laws. It will also address the many ways that both employers and employees frequently misuse mobile devices and the ramifications for doing so. This teleconference is critical for employers who need to know the limitations of their employees' privacy rights in the workplace and how to avoid liability for monitoring their employees' activities.

Finally, this teleconference will address the practical aspects of keeping ahead of the curve regarding managing the use of mobile devices and data preservation in the workplace: what kinds of policies make good sense to have in place to protect your company, and what are the best ways to introduce these new policies to ensure understanding of reasons and intent as well as to optimize compliance.
