What HR Must Know About Protecting Confidential Information

There is no doubt that people on the outside…and inside… of your company are looking to access critical confidential information. Some people simply mishandle and expose it. Failure to protect this information can result in lost customers and clients, regulatory fines, lawsuits, brand damage, and more.

HR professionals and other managers are privy to salaries, financial information, health insurance information, social security numbers, and other sensitive employee and customer data. What is it that needs to be kept confidential legally, and what should be included when putting a company policy in place?

In this course, veteran attorney Don Phin helps you gain an understanding of confidentiality by laying out the main areas to consider. He shares best practices that can help both managers and employees behave within legal and ethical parameters. Learn about non-disclosure and non-competition agreements, social media policies, cybersecurity, and more.
