Confidentiality: Critical Mistakes Every Organization Should Avoid

Course Description:

Most employers know it's illegal to prevent employees from discussing their pay with co-workers.  But did you realize your current confidentiality policy could put your pay practices under a legal microscope.

Union or non-union, it doesn't matter, even if your confidentiality policy doesn't mention wages or benefits — all you need is one, single breach of compensation, benefits, employment information, or personal data to open the door to costly tort actions and federal prosecution.

Let CCM's expert faculty guide you through the legal complexities involved with creating and implementing your company's confidentiality policy.  From non-disclosures to exit strategies, you'll get immediate, actionable strategies to help you:

1. safeguard your organization's most valuable information,
2. ensure regulatory compliance, and
3. limit your liability.

Plus, in just 75 minutes, you and your colleagues will learn:

• How data breach and privacy laws affect you — FACTA, HIPAA, NLRB and beyond
• Key disclaimers to include and what to leave out of your policy
• How to clearly communicate your new or amended policy
• How to detect the warning signs of an information leak
• Best practices for handling a breach when it occurs
• How to ensure your current confidentiality policy is not in violation of Section 8(a)(1) under the NLRB

You'll also get the answers to your specific questions in the live Q&A session following the program.
