Legal Briefs™ Workplace Privacy: Privacy in Cyberspace
The internet and social media have created new areas of concern for managers. You might wonder, how can privacy law even be an issue for something that is so public? Well, the answer is, there are at least two kinds of privacy. One is where we have to keep confidential information… confidential. But the other is where an employer is not allowed to consider an employee’s private life, even if that life is very public.

Listen, I Was Just Wondering...
Could an unwelcome pursuit can become harassing behavior? What if it was a manager pursuing an employee? Fishing in the company pond for romance does happen, but there is more at risk than just rejection. Supervisors and managers should never proposition subordinates. Even social invitations between co-workers need to be carefully asked.

LOCK OUT Action (from The 3-OUT Approach to Workplace Safety)
Most intruders have a relatively short amount of time to inflict as much damage as they can before they’re stopped by authorities, before they end things themselves or before they are stopped – by you! They are running against the clock and tend to take the path of least resistance. As a result, they don’t want to spend time trying to enter a locked or barricaded space, costing precious seconds in their pursuit to kill as many as they can.

Managing Silence (Behavior-Based Interviewing)
Being uncomfortable with silence during an interview may be the most common problem interviewers face, and most will just change the subject and move on. But look at it this way. When candidates are silent, it usually means they're thinking. That silence is your friend, your tool. If you change the subject and move on, you may be shutting down a revealing answer. So respect silence.

Non-Verbal Indicators (Behavior-Based Interviewing)
To uncover past behaviors from candidates, sometimes we need to follow "feeling" clues. Feelings point to the hidden parts of past behavior. And, of course, none of us are mind readers when it comes to reading feelings, but all of us can learn to recognize the non-verbal indicators of feelings.
