Most firms trusted on data security
Updated on 02 October 2008
One in five workers do not trust their boss to protect their personal details such as home address and employment record, according to new research.
A survey of 1,000 adults also revealed that one in four managers admitted they had taken personal information of staff out of the office, while some had left information lying on their desks.
Most of the workers questioned for life assistance firm CPP said they were satisfied with their firm's security procedures.
Danny Harrison, identity theft expert at CPP, said: "Companies are holding increasing amounts of their workforce's personal information, exposing employees to potential impersonation.
"Employers have a responsibility to protect their staff, yet it seems a week doesn't go by without a company or Government department reporting a loss of data."
