97% of UK workers access social media at work. 

One post can end a career.

So why are most employers still getting social media so badly wrong?

This episode made me stop and think.

On the Legally Speaking Podcast ™️, I sat down with Lloyd Clarke, Partner and Head of Employment & Business Disputes at Attwells Solicitors, to discuss the reality behind social media, employment law, and reputational risk.

Not the headlines.
Not the hot takes.
The detail tribunals actually care about.

Here’s what you’ll take away from this conversation:

🔴 Why “monitoring” doesn’t mean surveillance and where employers cross the legal line
🔴 How deleted posts still matter and when they don’t
🔴 The biggest mistake employers make when claiming reputational harm
🔴 Why clear, simple social media policies matter more than ever
🔴 How employees can build a personal brand without putting their job at risk

The biggest insight?

Most disputes don’t come down to the post itself. 
They come down to context, proportionality, and evidence.

And almost everyone gets at least one of those wrong.

If you’re an employer, leader, HR professional, or lawyer navigating modern workplace risk, this is a must-listen.

One power packed conversation, with practical clarity you can actually use.
