“People will be more sympathetic in a company whose management explains the situation and tries to provide them with several options before laying them off or offering them compensatory salaries. Their feeling appreciated for their work is to the benefit of the company, as employees will retain a positive image of the company, and the risk of taking confidential information once they leave the job will be much smaller,” said Alina Botezatu, Managing Partner of the HR Perspective Group consultancy company.
According to a study made by the Cyber-Ark Software company, specializing in information security, half of the employees interviewed said they would download confidential information for the purpose of using this when they negotiate their next job. This ratio reaches 71 percent in the Netherlands, 58 percent in the United States, and 40 percent in the United Kingdom.
“People who are predisposed to such behavior can be picked out during the recruitment process. If you are happy that they come with information, you will be sad when they leave with your company’s confidential information,” said Marian Manolache, Managing Partner of the Skill Team HR company.
