Transparency vs. Privacy in the Workplace
#TChat Radio is all new and live Wednesday, September 25, 2013, at 6:30 pm ET (3:30 pm PT), with the #TChat Twitter chat right after from 7-8 pm ET. \xa0 Last week we talked about gaming and measuring talent, and this week we're talking about the rub of transparency and privacy in the workplace between employer and employee. \xa0 The transparency movement has certainly solidified, particularly the fact that employees not just prefer but demand more transparency from their employers \u2013 for example, how much profit they\u2019ve made, why they promote and fire certain individuals and not others. \xa0 Truth be told, while many employment laws have an indirect "transparency" mandate like in the case of Title VII and Sarbanes Oxley, generally the law does not grant a "right" of transparency to employees. \xa0 And it just gets more complicated when you add in privacy issues and the ability of an employer or an employee to prevent disclosures to the other. \xa0 Join #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we welcome our special guest: Mary Wright,\xa0a Shareholder and the former General Counsel of Ogletree Deakins, the US Powerhouse in Employment Litigation, and founding Editor of the HR Gazette, a daily on-line newspaper for HR Professionals and Employment Lawyers. \xa0 \xa0 This will be another important #TChat show about employment law, transparency and privacy.
