Any HR professionals here? I need to know:Just started a new role and I was in a virtual meeting for new hires discussing benefit questions with our HR reps. Someone asked a question regarding enrollment and the HR rep asked them for their name and pretty much shared that individual’s selections for the next year while we were all on the call. Isn’t that information confidential or at the very least,personal?
