In Canadian HR Reporter’s latest feature, Clark Wilson Employment & Labour chair and partner Andrea Raso joins the discussion on the legal and HR implications of off-duty conduct in today’s social media age. The article explores a high-profile controversy involving a Sequoia Capital partner and dives into how hate speech, reputational harm, and online commentary can create legal exposure for employers.

Andrea provides practical insight into what employers must prove to justify disciplinary action, the limits of social media policies, and why anonymous hotlines aren’t always the solution companies think they are.

This is a must-read for HR professionals navigating the grey areas of employee expression and organizational risk. Read “Was it hate speech? When executives cause controversy” HERE.
