In the IT, tech, and telecom industries, employee knowledge, customer relationships, and intangible assets are often a company's most valuable resources. At the same time, mobility, side projects, and consulting assignments increase the risk of competing businesses, disloyal behavior, and the disclosure of trade secrets.
In this webinar, you will receive a clear and practical overview of how competing activities and trade secrets should be handled. We will go through the duty of loyalty during and after employment, what applies to secondary employment, and how and when non-competition clauses are used in a correct and reasonable manner. The focus is on practical application, risk assessment, and common pitfalls so that you, as an employer, can act preventively, legally, and effectively.
Aims and objectives
The purpose of the webinar is to give you greater confidence in protecting your company's business-critical information and handling situations where employees act or risk acting in breach of their duty of loyalty. The course gives you a clear overview of the regulations and concrete tools for both preventive work and measures when problems arise.
After the course you will be able to:
- Understand the meaning and scope of the duty of loyalty during and after employment
- Identify what constitutes trade secrets and how they are protected by law
- Assess when competing activities, side jobs, or side projects are not allowed
- Use non-compete clauses in a fair and reasonable way
- Understand the requirements for binding periods, financial compensation, and penalties in non-compete clauses
- Take labor law measures in the event of a breach of the duty of loyalty
Target group
The course is aimed at those who are new to labor law, are CEOs, HR specialists, managers, or supervisors with personnel responsibility, as well as those who otherwise come into contact with labor law in their daily work.
