privacy in the workplace

Privacy in the workplace refers to the rights of employees to have their personal information and activities kept confidential by their employer. This includes data like personal contact details, medical information, and communications. Employers balance this with their need to monitor activities for security and productivity. Laws vary by location but generally require that employees are informed about how their data is used and monitored. Respecting privacy fosters trust and a healthy work environment, while breaches can lead to legal issues and a negative workplace culture.
