In an interview with Band Mulher, attorney Dr. Mirella Franco, from Granito Boneli Advogados, addresses a topic that has already become part of companies’ routine: the right to disconnect and the limits within employment relationships.

More than a discussion about after-hours messages or the use of corporate mobile phones, the central point lies in how many companies have normalized this behavior in their daily operations. When there are no clear boundaries, the practice becomes embedded in the internal culture — and that is precisely where the risk begins to take shape.

In practice, the impact goes beyond communication management. It involves working hours control, leadership behavior, employee well-being, and, above all, legal security. For employers, the warning sign is clear: if the company does not define boundaries, routine practices can turn into evidence.

In this context, guiding managers, reviewing internal policies, and organizing communication channels cease to be secondary concerns and become strategic measures. More than avoiding conflicts, the goal is to structure operations in a way that reduces exposure and ensures predictability in employment relationships.

Ignoring this trend does not eliminate the risk — it only postpones a problem that is likely to surface when the company is already exposed.
