Over the past months, our Employment & Immigration Practice Group has been exploring key aspects of the “social” pillar of ESG across Southeast Europe. Building on our earlier insights on work flexibility and workplace discrimination, this latest contribution turns to an increasingly critical — yet often overlooked — area: data privacy in the workplace.
As digitalisation accelerates, employers are navigating a growing array of obligations when handling employee data—from background checks and workplace monitoring to health data and surveillance measures. Missteps in this area can carry significant legal and reputational risks, making a clear understanding of the regulatory landscape essential.
Through this insight, we provide a practical overview of the key legal considerations shaping data privacy in employment across the region, helping businesses ensure compliance while fostering a responsible and secure working environment.
