In the context of big data, while human resource management has obtained management optimization brought about by information technology, the issue of leakage and abuse of laborers' privacy has drawn more and more attention. Personal information of employees exists on the Internet in various forms of data during the process of collecting, storing and analyzing. Massive and diverse information is obtained through log files, web crawlers and other means. The original fragmented and non-sensitive information will be quickly identified after comprehensive analysis of data clustering, correlation analysis and cross-validation through data mining technology. More and even sensitive information will be quickly identified. Privacy authorization is becoming more and more formal, and the risk of privacy leakage caused by technical vulnerabilities is also increasing. The current dilemmas faced by employees' right to privacy include: unclear definitions of employees' right to privacy, lack of labor legislation, and high costs of information protection. Measures should be taken from labor legislation, industry self-discipline, employer self-management and employees' awareness of privacy protection to establish a healthy working environment and harmonious labor relations, and promote the sustainable and healthy development of the economy and society.
