Every company has confidential information that it doesn t want outsiders to know about.
Employee records, client lists, unpatented inventions, training manuals and financial reports are examples of information that employers may want to keep in house. The people who are generally entrusted with this type of information include clients, vendors and employees. But executive staff members and personal secretaries are often privy to the most potentially damaging information. Employees may accidentally or intentionally break a corporate confidence. This may happen during an employee s tenure or after the person terminates.
