Employee Secrecy Education

Employee secrecy education can address many issues that an organization might encounter with regard to trade secrets. Employees do not always understand what information is confidential and what is not. They may not understand how competitors will attempt to learn trade secrets from them, either. Also, the amount of effort an organization puts into protecting confidential information is an important element in any trade secret case.

When coupled with an employee handbook that includes intellectual property policies and well drafted employment agreements, secrecy education gives the employees specific guidance – and comfort. It can also be used in an exit interview to remind departing employees of their obligations.

Designing an education program to accurately explain the employees’ obligations and specifically identify the amount of confidentiality assigned to various pieces of information requires experienced lawyers.
