Event: HR Forum: Can you keep a Secret?

As employees become more mobile, stay with businesses for shorter periods of time, and utilise the benefits of social media to raise their profiles, these are increasingly important issues for employers to be aware of.

This comprehensive and practical HR Forum, sponsored and delivered by Ashtons Legal, will explore various issues involving confidentiality, secrecy and privacy. The speakerswill look at the importance of confidentiality with prospective employees, during the employment relationship and following termination, including with regard to social media and the options open to employers in a potential breach. They will also look at data protection and the new rules regulating employees’ information during their employment.
