The role of HR has evolved significantly in recent years. It is seen increasingly as the gatekeeper for managing business risk.At the recent Taylor Vinters HR Forum event, Kirsty Devine gave a presentation on protecting confidential information and monitoring employee communications in the workplace. Alongside her, Kate Ledwidge gave some practical guidance on how to manage breaches of confidentiality, both in the UK and internationally. Employment partner Dom Holmes interviewed Kirsty and Kate on these subjects for the HR ListenIn podcast, shortly after the event took place.
