Protecting confidential information: The Notice Period

This article is the second piece in a three part series of blogs focussed on how organisations can most effectively protect themselves against employees stealing confidential information. Following on from our first blog in the series, which focussed on both surveillance policies and restraint of trade clauses, this blog will discuss how to effectively protect your company's confidential information from an employee during their official notice period.

Employment relationships are just like any other relationship: the only certainty is that they will eventually come to an end - and whether an employee resigns, or is terminated, the notice period can be a risky time for businesses.
