Employee privacy refers to the right of workers to keep their personal information and activities confidential in the workplace. This includes data such as medical records, personal communications, and social media activity. Employers must balance their need for information with respect for their employees' privacy rights. Laws and regulations, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), help protect employee privacy. Companies often implement policies to ensure that sensitive information is handled appropriately, promoting a respectful and secure work environment while maintaining compliance with legal standards.
