It also means they spend more time in the workplace than at home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Still, it\u2019s not their home.

Consult GDPR guidelines before throwing a surprise party<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>In the past, it was nothing unusual to dig through your employees&#8217; data to find out when it\u2019s their birthday and prepare them for a surprise party. Today, this is not exactly legal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you closely follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osano.com\/articles\/gdpr-compliance-regulations\">GDPR guidelines<\/a>, you\u2019ll learn that you cannot share one\u2019s birthday <strong>without their explicit consent<\/strong>. In other words, you need to consult everyone at the office before sharing this information, especially if you want to create a calendar with everyone\u2019s birthdays. In other words, it\u2019s still legal, but you need to get explicit consent.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It\u2019s also important that you avoid public announcements. You probably never intended to notify the local newspaper, but even making social media posts regarding the party can be problematic. These things are slightly more difficult, but it&#8217;s all doable if you read the guidelines closely.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Sharing_personal_photos\"><\/span>2. Sharing personal photos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>The best thing about the internet is that it allows us to share data with people across the globe. A problem lies in the fact that GDPR <strong>doesn\u2019t just affect countries within the EU<\/strong>, they also affect parties that deal with companies in the EU.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>So, let\u2019s say you have a colleague working remotely from a non-EU country. It\u2019s only legal for you to send them personal data if the EU designates their country as a place with adequate data protection. This is achieved through various certificates and licenses. For instance, the <strong>EU-US Privacy Shield<\/strong> will work if they&#8217;re from the US.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Once you get home, however, you can safely do it without worrying about GDPR. You see, things that are considered personal or household activities do not fall under the GDPR. The use of work-established communication tools (like collaboration platforms) or company Slack during work hours is something else entirely.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Remember that when sharing things online, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.followeraudit.com\/blog\/how-to-find-out-who-is-searching-for-you-online-an-ultimate-guide\/\">you never know who\u2019s watching<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Warning_catering_companies_about_personal_allergies\"><\/span>3.

On the one hand, this is vital information for one\u2019s health and could put people in <strong>a life-threatening situation<\/strong>. At the same time, it\u2019s personal data, and, as such, it falls under the GDPR.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Now, if the coworker was to warn you about their allergy and you asked for the ingredients without explaining, you could bypass this absurd rule. However, <strong>it\u2019s always easier to ask for consent<\/strong>. No one in their right mind will ever refuse to consent to this.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Once again, we\u2019re not saying you will land in legal trouble even if you avoid this step. We\u2019re just saying that you can and that this is how to do everything by the book.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Sending_someone_else_a_candidate%E2%80%99s_CV\"><\/span>4. Sending someone else a candidate\u2019s CV<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>When a potential candidate sends you their CV, you and other <strong>people relevant to the hiring process<\/strong> can review it and give your honest opinion. However, if you\u2019re still unsure whether to hire them, you cannot send someone else their CV.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>At least, you cannot do this in its current form if you edit the file to be completely anonymized (you hide their info like name, address, phone number, etc.). This is an entirely different story.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>This has another perk. You see, omitting some of this information (especially the name and the address) can prevent this party from determining whether the applicant is male or female. If they have a location or name indicating their ethnicity, concealing it can get a less biased opinion. In other words, this helps you diversify your workplace quite drastically.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>You cannot forward their CV to another employer<\/strong> even with the best intentions. The key is that you must understand that they\u2019ve trusted you with some of the most personal information about them, and GDPR compels you to act toward it with the utmost respect.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_No_politics_in_the_office\"><\/span>5.

These conversations range from comic book arguments to pol\u2026 well, not anymore. Political opinions are <strong>sensitive personal data<\/strong> in the eyes of the GDPR.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Coworkers can still discuss politics, but anyone acting officially should not disclose any related data.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Don\u2019t send emails regarding the upcoming elections, and don\u2019t ask people for their political opinions. If they want to express them publicly, that\u2019s their legal right &#8211; just don\u2019t ask them, and you should be fine!<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In some less developed countries with a lower <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eiu.com\/n\/campaigns\/democracy-index-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">democracy index<\/a>, people leverage their corporate power for political purposes. It\u2019s exactly this kind of corruption that GDPR (by classifying political opinions as sensitive personal data) is trying to eradicate.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Calling_in_sick\"><\/span>6. Calling in sick<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>While this may sound like a rule leading to much abuse, <strong>you don\u2019t have to be specific about the medical condition<\/strong> when calling in sick. All that people at the office need to know is that you\u2019re unwell. Saying that you\u2019re too unwell to come to work is all that an employee is legally obliged to share.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Even this only needs to be conveyed to a select few people.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chances are that you know who you\u2019re legally obliged to notify. When conveying this information, make sure that the channel is secured. Common advice is to <strong>send an email<\/strong> (preferably a company-approved one) directly to the affected party. This way, you\u2019ll also have proof that you\u2019ve sent confirmation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Now, they have to retain this information for some time, but after a while, they will delete it. Remember, sick leave data is usually not retained indefinitely unless a company policy mandates it. GDPR does not regulate the duration of retention of this data.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_A_new_sheriff_in_town\"><\/span>7. A new sheriff in town<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Since data protection is so incredibly important, it was inevitable that there would be someone at the office taking care of the situation. This is the job of a Data Protection Officer (DPO). Now, as an expert, they have so many responsibilities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul><\/p>\r\n<li>Their first job is to <strong>monitor all the compliances<\/strong>. While this happens automatically, for the most part, they can conduct an occasional audit and ensure that all the practices align with GDPR.<\/li>\r\n<p><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul><\/p>\r\n<li>Whenever personal data needs to be accessed so that the information can be corrected or deleted, it\u2019s the job of a DPO to either <strong>approve or reject this request<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/li>\r\n<p><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul><\/p>\r\n<li>DPO is also in charge of <strong>data protection training and awareness<\/strong>. As you can see, GDPR is not only affecting a select few executives. It\u2019s something that every employee should be aware of, especially those who communicate with external entities.&nbsp;<\/li>\r\n<p><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul><\/p>\r\n<li>A business that aims to remain compliant with GDPR needs to connect with various <strong>data protection authorities<\/strong>. Well, it\u2019s the job of a DPO to act as a liaison in this scenario.<\/li>\r\n<p><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul><\/p>\r\n<li>In the worst-case <strong>data breach<\/strong> scenario, DPO must be actively involved in the company\u2019s response. As a part of this response team, they should do everything in their power to contain the potential data loss.&nbsp;<\/li>\r\n<p><\/ul>\r\n\r\n<p>As you can already tell, this is an incredibly important function in any GDPR-compliant entity. So, it\u2019s one more specialist that an average office worker will have to get accustomed to.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GDPR_is_a_game-changer_in_the_way_we_see_and_treat_personal_data_and_this_will_reflect_in_your_workplace\"><\/span>GDPR is a game-changer in the way we see and treat personal data, and this will reflect in your workplace<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>A modern workplace is a different place than its previous iterations.

However, whether this was ever OK from a moral and ethical standpoint is questionable.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Veto political activity in the workplace is the only way to prevent horrible abuse.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sure, an employee can abuse the ability to call in sick, but this is a positive change compared to an alternative.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>These regulations introduce a more considerate and <strong>welcoming workplace for everyone<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\r\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An average person spends eight hours each day in their workplace.
