How can an employee help safeguard information that may give prospective contractors an unfair advantage?
During the course of the study, employees should only discuss their jobs and the nature of their work with those who have a genuine need to know. While the study is underway, prospective contractors may try to find out about an employee’s job through casual conversation with the employee. The employee may not even know that person is associated with a contractor. In short, employees should know who they are talking to and why. Persons with any knowledge of the functions under study are obligated to safeguard that information.
