One of my nephews is a regular messenger from one of the Law Firms in Manila.
Hie uses a motorcycle in bringing the documents to the clients. One day, he got a road
accident. He fell from the motorcycle which caused him bruises and leg injury.
Eventually he was brought to the hospital by the concerned citizens. Who do you think
paid his hospital bills? What about his absences/ leave?
Yes, it 15 the Law m where he still works. The company paid all his hospital bills.
Besides, his leave tor almost a month was still paid by the company. In other words,
though he was absent, he still received his salary.
Why is this so? It is because of the rights of the workers and the responsibility of
the company once the accident happens during an employee's duty. For this module, you
will be learning about the Rights and Responsibilities of the Employers, Workers and
Other Persons in the workplace, including the lesson on Confidentiality in the Workplace.

rights and duties of employers, employees and other persons, you, who may be one of
them soon need to learn what in the workplace is. In some instances, confidentiality
refers to not discussing internal goings-on with co-workers. In other instances, it refers to
not sharing trade secrets and other company information with competitors, the press or
anyone outside of your company. Confidentiality has both casual and legal definitions.

Casual Definition of Confidentiality

If you repeat confidential statements made by co-workers, even if the original source
doesn't hear about your gossip, the people you tell might lose respect for you and no
longer trust you. If you gossip with customers, they might tell your competitors, who will
be less likely to hire you in the future.
Examples of breaking casual, confidential communications are:
1. repeating a co-worker's opinion of his boss,
2. revealing the fact that a peer is interviewing with another company,
3. forwarding a confidential email from one employee to another,
4. sharing information, you overhead others discussing or passing around a document you
found that wasn't intended for others.
So, those must be avoided if you become an employee or even a trainee.
Legal Definition of Confidentiality
Once you become an employee or worker, you may have access to information for your
company such as salaries, employee perks, client lists, trade secrets, sales numbers,
customer information, news about pending terminations, reasons for a firing, phone codes
or computer passwords. Your employers don't want the employees to divulge or reveal
them to others when you are still working or even when you are leaving the company.
There instances that they will ask the employees to sign a confidentiality agreement to
keep the secrets even if they leave already.
Legal Examples:
As an employee or worker, you must not divulge the following information:
recipes production processes
patents financial information
research website traffic statistics
Customer lists computer and building security
information
Companies that collect data on customers cannot share this information with other
companies unless it informs customers in advance, such as when businesses share
email lists. Personnel information is confidential, and information in an employee's
file, such as social security number, salary, health records, disciplinary actions and
termination reason can't be discussed with other employees.

Divulging inside information can damage your former employer, allowing them to sue
you to recover those damages. So, avoid revealing confidential information to anybody.
What is The Data Privacy Act of the Philippines?
The Data Privacy Act (DPA), or Republic Act No. 10173 was passed by the
Philippines Congress in 2012 and finally implemented five years later in 2016. RA 10173
assures the tree flow of information to promote innovation and growth" (Republic Act.
No. 10173, Ch. 1, Sec. 2) while protecting the users' fundamental rights to privacy.
How is it implemented?
RA 10173 protects and maintains the right of customers to confidentiality by setting a
legal list of rules for companies to regulate the collection, handling, and disposal of all
personal information. Companies legally responsible for keeping their customers' data
protected from third parties or any form of misuse, internally or externally.

What is "personal information?"

“Personal information” refers to any information, whether recorded in a material form or
not, from which the identity of an individual is apparent or can be reasonably and directly
ascertained by the entity holding the information, or when put together with other
information would directly and certainly 1dentiy an individual (Republic Act. No.
10173,Ch. 1, Sec. 3).

What is "sensitive personal information?"

(1) About an individual's race, ethnic origin, marital status, age, color, and religious,
philosophical or political affiliations;

individual must show confidentiality of information.
Besides confidentiality, trainees, workers, employees and employers must take into
consideration als0 the conflict resolution and prevention in the workplace conflict is a
state of incompatibility of ideas between two or more parties or individuals. It is also a
natural disagreement resulting from individuals or groups that differ in attitudes, beliefs,
values or needs.

Conflict Resolution Techniques

1. Listen then speak out.
It is better for the two involved parties to speak and listen to one another to identity the
root and nature of the conflict.
2. Gather the group.
The employers must also arrange meeting to discuss the issue and think of the immediate
solutions to satisfy everyone
3. Be impartial.
Do not take sides but instead listen to both parties.
4. Do not postpone conflicts resolution.
If the conflict arises, it is better to immediately address the issue. Postponing it may
affect everyone's performance and conflict might be aggravated by others.
5. Promote teamwork.
It is best to remind the staff the importance of working as a team.
6. Broadcast praises.
If the good deeds are spread to everyone in the workplace, this makes everyone
motivated and encouraged to do the same.

How will the conflict be prevented?

1. Being open. It is better to express the issue and deal with them.
2. Maintain clear communication. Articulate thoughts clearly to one another in the
workplace.
3. Encourage different points of view and evaluate each fairly.
4. Demonstrate respect for team members rather than resorting to blame game.
5. Keep team issues within the team. Talking of the issues outside will result to bigger
and longer conflict.
