Educational Program:

Social Media and Family Businesses: Setting policies and precedents


Thursday, February 18, 2010
7:30 a.m. - 9:00 a.m.
Alumni Hall at Ohio Dominican University

Speakers: Lori Hall, Employers Resource Association, and Edward Kim, Downes Fishel Hass Kim LLP

Setting the rules was much easier when you only had to worry about personal calls on the company phone. But times have changed, making company communication policies for many family-owned businesses out-of-date and out-of-touch with the realities of today's technology. How do you handle the needs of today's employees who want and need to have access to their cell phones, PDAs, Internet accounts, and social media sites that may or may not be directly linked to your company? You know it's important to create rules and set boundaries to handle these new situations but where do you draw the line?

Edward Kim, of Downes Fishel Hass Kim LLP, and Lori Hall, of Employers Resource Association, will draw on their expertise to help you learn the ins and outs of creating policies that work for your company and conform to employment law.  You'll also hear about other experiences with creating and implementing new policies on computer, Internet and cell phone use, giving you a head start on setting precedents for your own family business.

Stay for a Bonus Program, from 9:15-10:00 a.m. following the February 18th Educational Program:

Taking LinkedIn to the Next Level - Do you want to get more out of LinkedIn? If you've set up your LinkedIn account and find yourself wondering, "Now What?", we've got the answers for you. Bryan Huber, owner of huber + co. interactive, will teach you how to maximize your LinkedIn capabilities and connections and share information about getting the most from this valuable networking tool, including enhancing your profile, getting involved in groups, and using LinkedIn as a search engine.

Lunch and Learn:
Think References Won't Talk? Why Employers MUST Conduct Reference Checks that Work


Thursday, May 13, 2010
12:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.
Alumni Hall at Ohio Dominican University

Not all cases of criminal behavior end up in the court system, and contrary to popular belief, former employers and other references do in fact provide useful information to prospective employers.  The cost of a bad hire is estimated to be two to three times the individual’s salary.  And the cost of litigation resulting from an employee’s actions can be devastating to an employer.  Zuni Corkerton, founder and president of RefCheck, will discuss background-checking products that are available to employers today, and explain why conducting thorough background checks, including reference checks, is a critical component in performing your due diligence in the hiring process.
