Employers sometimes ask people applying for jobs for personal information, such as their hobbies and interests, and whether they are married or single. Some people say that this information may be relevant and useful. Others, however, disagree. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Dear Sir/Madam, I received an Email a few days back from our Human Resource Team related to sharing of personal

information

of all

employees

. I want to share my views about the Pros and Cons of it.

Firstly

, the following factors,

such

as Hobbies, Food Interests, Preferred locations, Single or married, Salary details etc., come under Personal

Information

.

Secondly

, having personal

information

such

as hobbies, preferred destinations to visit, food interests etc., of

employees

facilitates the Management in organizing an event either in the office premises or in any resorts for refreshments events

such

as Sports or open-air concerts with all

employees

. The competition in resorts allows

employees

to know more about each other and helps the office environment look good later. Having

information

about Blood Group will be helpful in any emergency condition to react and get it done as fast as possible in any emergency condition. Regarding disadvantages, an individual's personal

information

is optional to know everyone as some may misuse it in other ways. Related to an employee's salary, it is better to keep the

information

private even with your colleague as it is indirectly responsible for team coordination while performing daily activities. It

also

impacts the team's performance in the long run and allows us to create a kind of grudge among

employees

. Having

information

about an individual to a certain extent is enough. Sometimes, knowing more

also

causes many problems and indirectly affects our performance. So, please do your work daily and not think about your colleagues. Yours Sincerely, Niranjan Reddy K.
