I agree - it's not more permissable just because it is in a good light.
I still would seek agreement personally.

Doesn't identifying them as not having achieved 80% by NOT sharing their
data also violate their privacy and potentially their human rights ?

Thanks for all the input folks. I have my answer which is quite simple.
Only data for top performers can be shared. Top perfomer threshold is
yet to be determined but will be based most likely on what it takes to
qualify for sales club which could be 80% of quota attaintment or above.
To share such data for anyone 'not performing' when no consent has been
given and no awareness of the data being processed this way has
previously been made would be a violation of the individuals privacy and
potentionaly their human rights. It could harm the data subjects as
well as the data controller.

I suppose that's one way to get your staff to work harder - name and
shame! Seriously though, I think the staff should be made aware this is
going to happen - information note in their payslips and wait and see if
anyone objects.

Interesting one, this. It is customary at sales conferences to share
this information, live and on stage. The sales teams are used to it and
it is unlikely, because of custom and practice, to cause a complaint.
However one can argue that this is very much personal data that should
not be shared without consent.
I think the pragmatic answer is to include the fact that percentage
attainment data will be made "internally public" at such events and on
an internal circulation in the annual signup letter that sales staff
(presumably) sign to accept their quotas.
Since the risk is low because of custom and practice (and this can be
argued in mitigation to any complaint,though is not a defence per se) I
think one might proceed to share it THIS year and regularise the
situation in the next quota year.
Or have I misunderstood the situation?

I have a question regarding the sharing of Sales Quota Attainment data.
I realise that sharing any employee performance data with anyone outside
of the employee, their manager and HR would be highly
questionnable/illegal. However, would there be an issue in sharing
just the quota attainment percentage for each sales rep with the entire
sales force (this will include all sales reps, sales managers within the
UK & Ireland). The data would include the sales reps name thus making
it immediately visible who the individuals are and what their peformance
is.
My initial reactions is is to say definately not, but I wanted to find
out if any of you have a view point that would change this.
Thanks
Catherine
