Employers, especially those in the public sector, need to be fully aware of the constraints of the law relating to employee and workplace privacy rights.
Data protection issues can arise on a daily basis. All businesses need to fully understand data protection laws and compliance is essential. Failure to comply can land businesses in trouble with the Information Commissioner and even result in adverse and damaging media coverage.
