Breach Of Confidentiality – Social Networking In The Workplace
We are all aware that it is standard practice to sign a Confidentiality Agreement as well as a Non-Disclosure Agreement at some point in the hiring process. This is not something that should be taken lightly, simply because it has become commonplace to sign-off on these documents.
