Confidentiality Agreement

Businesses use employee confidentiality agreements to protect their innovative ideas, effective processes, unique products, or customer information. The purpose of confidentiality agreement is to protect business information you share with employees from being shared with people outside of the contract for a designated period. For a confidentiality agreement to take effect, your employee must sign it. Store a copy of the confidentiality agreement in your records. Remind employees about their confidential information responsibilities in your employee handbook.
