Employee Privacy Rights

Meaning

Employee privacy rights define the legal and ethical boundaries protecting an individual’s personal information and autonomy within their professional environment. This concept safeguards sensitive data, including health records and performance evaluations, ensuring appropriate handling and restricted access. Maintaining these boundaries supports an individual’s psychological and physiological well-being, analogous to how cellular membranes regulate internal environments.
