This old chestnut? You can have something to fear without having something
to hide. Hence the protection given to battered spouses, victims of stalkers,
whistleblowers, informers, staff threatened by "always-right" customers,
individuals whose identities have been "stolen", people from ethnic or religious
minorities, asylum seekers, political refugees, etc, etc.
Staff can fall into one or more of the above categories - and others that
list members may wish to add - and therefore may sometimes need some protection.
