Characters:

Gail - Project Lead, Freddie’s boss
Freddie - Junior actuary and supporting team member

Synopsis:

Freddie, a junior actuary, has been summoned to a meeting with his boss, Gail, after rumours of a highly sensitive prospective acquisition they have been working on make national headlines the previous evening. 

Freddie, along with other members of the team, signed a detailed non-disclosure agreement relating to the “Trentbridge” acquisition.  It is not clear where the leak has come from, but Gail is determined to find out.

Discussion points

• How far does confidentiality extend - should you refrain from discussing work issues at home?

• Should you not be able to trust the people you work with? If someone gets hold of confidential information by looking at information they would have known is nothing to do with them – whose responsibility is that?

• Is it safe to do any confidential work outside the office? What about conversations on mobile phones in the street? What about reading emails on a mobile device?

• If you are a consultant – what about taking a phone call relating to Client A’s work while in the office of Client B, who may or may not be a rival?

• If your employer supplies you with mobile working devices (laptop, blackberry, phone) – are they actively encouraging you to work in a manner that is possibly less secure?

• What difference does it make (if any) if the work is not so obviously confidential and subject to a NDA?
