The world today is increasingly dominated by electronic interface—snap this, text that, selfies everywhere and now Zoom, which is taking over many of our private and business communications. This article highlights some risks employers may face from their employees using Zoom, sexting on a company-issued device or using the device to share intimate photos.

Many organizations are put in peril by employees who share intimate images of themselves. My clients’ workforces often consist of five generations of employees: Traditionalists (1925-1946), Baby Boomers (1946-1964), Generation X (1964-1981), Millennials or Generation Y (1982-1995) and Generation Z (born after 1995). I worry less about the Traditionalists and Baby Boomers engaging in revenge porn or sexting; they generally prefer to communicate orally and tend to be less dependent on the Internet. Generations X, Y and Z pose the deepest threat.
