Visual material in the workplace
Sometimes you, as an employer, want to make and publish photos or videos of your employees. For example, for the Intranet, a facebook or promotional material of your organisation. This is only permitted if you have a legal basis for this. In most cases, this is the consent of the employee portrayed.

Asking for consent
Consent has to meet a number of requirements.
Your employees have the right to withdraw their consent at any time. They do not have to give a reason for doing so. From that time onwards, you have to remove their photos or videos.
Note: there is an unequal balance of power between you as an employer and your employees. If an employee does not give consent, this may not have negative consequences for that person.
