The massive growth in social media offers forward thinking businesses with marketing, recruitment and employee engagement opportunities. However, it has also presented employers with challenges to deal with including misconduct, breaches of discrimination law, harassment, confidentiality, a loss of productivity and damage to your reputation.

- Bullying and harassment
