A loss of confidential information or other trade secrets could cost your company its competitive edge as well as loss of revenue. Accusations of breach of a non-compete agreements, by the use of private business information for your own economic gain, could deal a serious blow to landing a coveted job or growing your new enterprise. Many companies routinely have the partners, top executives, and other key employees, sign non-compete agreements. These people typically have intimate knowledge of valuable manuals, processes, client lists, business partners or other trade secrets. He or she agrees, when leaving the company, not to divulge this confidential information to rivals or use it to compete against the former employer.
When you have disclosed confidential or trade secret information on an as-needed basis to employees you need to take steps to assure that information does not come back to cause you economic harm. There are ways to do that but it takes time, effort, and thought.
