Employee Privacy Knowledge Center

Develop effective employee privacy policies

Technology is the rapidly changing driver that has employers treading gingerly through a minefield of issues as they try to reconcile the need to protect personal and proprietary data with the privacy rights of employees and customers. And because technology is changing so fast, often there are few guidelines for employers who want to do the right thing.

Maintain employee privacy in the workplace

There's a fine line between properly monitoring employees to ensure productivity and security and invading employee privacy. To protect company secrets and keep employees focused, employee privacy is often put to the test as organizations enact policies that monitor Internet and e-mail activity, limit employee dating and so forth. But such approaches can also be perceived negatively by the workforce.

At i4cp, we maintain an extensive database of trends, drivers, implications and strategies to assist when developing employee privacy programs. What do current laws allow? What are high-performing companies doing? What practices have been viewed as especially harsh by employees in the past?
