Are New Employees Fully Comprehending Your Company’s Policies?

Picture yourself excitedly showing up for your first day at a new job, only to be immediately tasked with installing location-tracking software, signing a mandatory arbitration agreement, or deactivating your social media profiles. You may even be required to consent to the monitoring and analysis of your everyday work communications — emails, chats, and shared files — for the training of emerging generative AI technologies. Eager to kick off your new role and leave a positive impression, you comply, despite not completely grasping the implications of these requests. As time progresses, however, you start to realize that you were not given all the necessary information about the terms you agreed to. Your trust in the organization and your dedication to it begin to falter. You might even contemplate leaving or taking legal action due to what now seems like an unfairly obtained agreement.
