Intended Audience: Intermediate

Last year’s election may be over, but its fallout lingers on. Most of us are familiar with what can and can’t be said by employees at work, off duty and on social media regarding touchy subjects like politics, religion, protest rallies and social justice movements. But what about employees overseas? Learn just how much legal protection an employer’s workers have in other countries, and when and how us-based HR can discipline or terminate employees who engage in disruptive speech. Learn what US laws relating to speech at work may be applied to non-us employees, and what country laws protecting employee speech may shield your global workforce from disciplinary actions.
