In a relaxed environment, it’s easy to let your guard down and forget the value and sensitivity of work-related information, especially when alcohol is involved. It’s important to understand that careless handling of confidential information could result in a leak to outside individuals or competitors eavesdropping a few feet away.
Organisational leaks can range from minor embarrassments to serious legal and financial disasters.
Key takeaways:
- Never discuss confidential work issues with unauthorized people
- Even if you trust them
- Even close friends
