Often, the focus is on the business&#039;s goals and success rather than on countering the risks of important information being exploited by competitors or unauthorized parties.<\/p><p>Employees have a far-reaching duty of loyalty to their employer during their employment. This means that they must not act in a way that harms the company, and they are obliged to prioritize the employer&#039;s interests over their own. Starting a competing business during an ongoing employment is considered a gross breach of employment obligations and can often be grounds for dismissal.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-32390e8 wd-width-100 elementor-widget elementor-widget-wd_title\"
