DII "Hot Topics" Discussion

When:  Jul 20, 2020 from 02:30 PM to 03:30 PM (ET)

Thank you to those who have joined the hot topics calls that we have held to date. Our next call will again focus on how to handle issues around political discourse that occurs in the workplace or that disrupts the work environment. It will take place on Monday, July 20 from 2:30-3:30 PM EST. Please “RSVP” to receive an e-mail confirmation with a calendar invite containing the dial-in information. Our goal is to use this call as an opportunity to share best practices and to brainstorm ideas on how our industry is navigating the many nuances we have been facing as a result of current events. We welcome anyone from your organization to attend the call.

Topics to be discussed are:

  • Collaborating with the right Subject Matter Experts and lines of authority
    • What functions? (Security, HR, legal)
    • How to handle behaviors occurring on customer sites or prime contractor sites
    • How to handle behaviors of individuals who are not our employees (sub-contractors, government employees, vendors)
  • Communications using company resources
    • Banners or fliers in the workplace
    • Social media postings on company-run social media
    • Political statements in signature blocks
  • Communications using personal resources but are visible in the workplace
    • Attire (t-shirts, mugs, face-masks, hats)
    • Bumper stickers on cars in the company parking lot
  • Personal social media activity
    • What if a person’s Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn profile includes a reference to the company?
    • What if there is no mention of the company, but the social media activity disrupts the workplace
  • Thresholds
    • How do you determine if behavior is disruptive?
    • How do you identify the severity of disruptiveness and align it to decisions regarding the appropriate corrective action?

We would encourage you to discuss internally and come to the call prepared with questions or any input you received. If you would like to propose any additional topics of discussion for the upcoming call, please let us know by end of day Thursday, July 16.
