Treatment of personal data in employment and employment contracts
Staff interviews and surveys
In many companies, regular employee interviews are held. It is important that they are carefully prepared and confidentiality is maintained at all levels. Employee interviews should provide managers and employees with the opportunity to give constructive feedback and make improvements if needed.
The employee interviews are usually conducted in a standardized form. The interviews often include development of the individual's skills and a plan for their professional development. The employer may work with this information with the employee's consent.
Copies of the conversation are often stored in the employee register of an individual within the company and the processing of this information is subject to the data protection laws, and the employee in question has the right to see it and comment on it if necessary and there is total confidentiality about these data.
Surveys
If an employee participates in a survey on the evaluation of the workplace or on the satisfaction of employees, then all its processing shall be covered by the Data Protection Act if information that can be linked to the employee is provided.
If the information is anonymous and cannot be traced to individual employees, those rules do not apply.
