Filled with offhanded remarks, unguarded comments and careless wording, email messages can be a disaster waiting to happen.  As a featured speaker at HR  2007 in Orlando, RumbergerKirk Partner Leonard Dietzen addressed email liability concerns and steps companies can take to minimize the risks associated with email misuse.  

Dietzen explained why developing and enforcing a comprehensive email policy is critical to any company’s risk mitigation strategy.  During his presentation, Leonard detailed a three-step process to help employers ensure a return on their investment.

1.          Identify the personal and company risks associated with using email.
2.          Discuss the critical components of a comprehensive email policy.
3.          Stress the importance of training all employees on the email policy –Not just to management.
