Drafting an undertaking for related employees to ensure confidentiality and avoid conflict of interest can be a delicate task. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you:
1. Identify the Purpose: Clearly define the purpose of the undertaking. It should aim to protect company information and prevent any potential conflict of interest that may arise due to the familial relationship between employees.
2. Define Confidentiality: Clearly explain what is considered confidential information in the context of your organization. This could include business strategies, client details, financial data, etc.
3. Outline the Consequences: Clearly state the consequences of breaching the confidentiality agreement. This could range from disciplinary action to legal consequences.
4. Address Conflict of Interest: Define what constitutes a conflict of interest in your organization. Ensure that the employees understand that they must not engage in any activity that could lead to a conflict of interest.
5. Include a Declaration: The employees should declare that they understand the terms of the undertaking and agree to abide by them. They should also acknowledge that they understand the consequences of breaching the agreement.
6. Legal Review: Have a legal expert review the document to ensure it is in line with local labor laws and company policies.
Remember, the key is to be transparent and fair. The employees should feel that the undertaking is to protect the company and its employees, and not to restrict them unnecessarily.

Good luck with trying to prove a conflict of interest if something goes wrong. I doubt any sort of agreement is going to give you a cast-iron guarantee that confidentiality will be maintained. It is almost impossible to monitor or prevent.

Dear Shanziey,
In reference to your query confidentiality is the essence of business.
Each and every information is not for all, thus secrecy or non-disclosure is essential.
In an industry having covered under Industrial Standing Orders need not require such bond or agreement, because disclosure of classified information with other in any form to someone irrelevant, is a Misconduct.
An industry not covered under Industrial Standing Orders needs "Non-disclosure bond from the employees.
A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) or Confidentiality Agreement, is a legally binding contract where one party agrees not to share specific confidential information (like trade secrets, business plans, or client lists) received from another party with anyone else for a specified period. NDAs protect sensitive information, build trust in business relationships, and provide a legal basis to pursue action if the terms are violated.
1. It's a formal, legally enforceable document.
2. The agreement clearly defines what information is considered confidential.
3.The receiving party promises to keep the shared information private.
4.To protect sensitive business assets, intellectual property, trade secrets, and other proprietary data.
5: Can be used between companies, employees, contractors, investors, or partners.
6: If the NDA is broken, the violating party may face legal action, potentially including fines or other relief, such as an injunction.
7. Consult a lawyer and discuss the issues, why the company wants such an agreement, what are secrets, how it is going to harm the business.
8.You got the body and draft one such agreement and the consultant lawyer can edit as to your requirements.
