Employee Privacy with Smartphones

Who owns the data on your smartphone? If you have access to company e-mail, can your employer request to see your phone at any time? What if your employer pays a cell phone allowance? New technology raises all sorts of issues regarding employee privacy, rights to intellectual property, and security of information.

Some statistics show that the victims of harassment and workplace bullying wait an average of 22 months before coming forward to complain. It may be a failing of employers that they do not empower their workers to come forward when discrimination appears. It shows that trust among all levels of an organization is fundamental to a healthy workplace.
