Confidentiality Agreement

A Confidentiality policy should be implemented to protect trade secrets and other proprietary information from leaving your organization.  Some organizations go even further and make certain employees sign individual agreements.  These agreements and policies are easier to implement than non-compete agreements because state laws are much more restrictive for non-compete agreements in order to protect an individual’s right to earn a living.
