Employee Data Privacy in a Globalized Workforce

Full Day CLE Event ~ The International Tool Kit- Best Practices for In-House Counsel in Dealing with Cross Border/International Issues

July 22, 2015

Partners Barbara E. Hoey and Mark A. Konkel will speak at the Association of Corporate Counsel New York Chapter’s annual full-day CLE event on employee data privacy issues faced by international companies, focusing on the challenge they face of balancing the need to secure company data with the privacy rights of their employees. Any company with international operations needs to not only be aware of the various statutes and regulations governing third-party and employee data in myriad jurisdictions, but also of the privacy rights implicated when employees communicate with others in and out of the workplace. This session will focus on the standards for employee privacy in a range of jurisdictions throughout the world - - standards that are often driven by broader cultural attitudes toward privacy. The speakers will compare employer obligations and employee rights in various jurisdictions.
