Calling BS on Compromising Employee Privacy in the Times of COVID-19

New Yawk HR

We have gone from "do we close the office", to "we are working from home" and now we are in the phase of "do we return to the office and how". The good news is that this is the phase we are now talking about, the bad news is that this phase may be the most complex for Human Resource leaders and teams. How do we maintain employee privacy when we need to know if someone is sick with Covid, could infect other team members, and trace them appropriately. We tawk with Ciara Lakhani, the Chief People Officer at Dashlane about how companies can maintain employee privacy during the current Covid19 situation. Ciara, her team, and Dashlane have open-sourced some of their return to work thoughts, procedures, and ideas, so we are excited to chat with her. Ciara currently serves as the Chief People Officer at Dashlane, an app out to fix the UX of the internet by filling out your passwords and payment information online. Pre-COVID-19 times you’d usually find her at one of the Dashlane offices in Paris, New York or Lisbon. Now she’s isolating at home in downtown Manhattan. Prior to Dashlane she was the Head of People & Culture at Compass while it scaled from 84 to over 400 employees. While she had her first People start-up role in 2003, she did spend 6 years with large global teams at GE in between. Ciara studied Psychology at SUNY Geneseo and has a MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
