IN THIS ISSUE
Establishing a company’s privacy policies
and protocols is a careful balance between
the expectations of the employee and
the needs of the employer. They’re both
necessary in a healthy work environment,
and both are supported by law, to a
reasonable degree. How an organization
treats its employees’ information is a
reflection of values and culture.
