During onboarding at a multinational software company, new hires must sign several documents: an acceptable-use policy acknowledgment, an inventions-assignment agreement, and a stand-alone Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). From a workforce security perspective, what primary objective does the NDA seek to accomplish during and after the individual's employment period with the firm?
A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is a legal contract designed specifically to protect confidential and proprietary information from being shared with unauthorized parties. NDAs are commonly used in employment contexts to prevent employees from disclosing sensitive company data to competitors or the public. Information protection is therefore the NDA's central purpose, whereas non-compete clauses address competition restriction, compensation terms govern remuneration, and intellectual-property assignment agreements transfer ownership of created work.
