Eric Akira Tate spoke with HR.com about the relationship between human resources (HR) practices and intellectual property management in a hybrid working environment.
Eric noted: “To begin with, HR departments can double down on the basics. Make sure they have technology use, bring your own device (BYOD) (if applicable), investigation and search policies that reduce the reasonable expectation of privacy, Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreements (PIIAs), and other agreements that clearly describe employee confidentiality obligations, what is sensitive information and why, that are signed by employees, with copies retained by HR.”
