Is it wise to ask our employees to sign a contract promising not to use their company knowledge for personal gain? We want to protect our valuable information, but how can we ensure this without creating unnecessary tension?

While it’s legally permissible to include non-compete clauses in employment contracts in India, they are generally not enforceable unless they are reasonable in scope and duration. To avoid unnecessary tension, consider focusing on clear and specific confidentiality agreements that protect company information without overly restricting employees’ future career prospects.
