Employment Agreements and Policies
Once the organization has decided which candidate should fill a position, additional tools are available to enhance or support the trustworthiness and security of employees and staff.
EMPLOYEE CONTRACT
Every employee should enter the organization under a contractual agreement; each employment contract should explicitly codify the terms of employment, including payment and the performance expectations. The contract should also be created with input from the legal department.
EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK
A written set of policies and standards all personnel within the organization are required to follow. It may contain proprietary information and remains the property of the organization, but employees will need access to it and should confirm receipt and understanding of its instructions. This document should be constructed with input from senior management, legal counsel, and human resources subject matter experts.
NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT
A formal agreement signed by the employee agreeing that they will not make any unauthorized disclosure of any of the organization's proprietary or sensitive information, both during and after the term of employment.
