Hi
First of all the validity of NDA itself is a question if it is forcibly obtained.
NDA for new employees is making some sense. Whether to sign or not is their call and if they don't sign they will not be able join your Organization.
But for existing employees who already joined you on mutually agreed terms and conditions, you cannot force them to sign which is illegal. On mutual discussion if they agree to sign that will be ok.
Revising the terms and conditions of employment after joining requires the consent of employees.
Sending NDA through email WILL NOT bind them and it will be an act of unilateral decision of the employer

Dear Friend,
The management wants that employees should sign NDA agreement, if want to work in.
Two prospective are emerging maximum employees signed but few refused to sign and threat to quit job as well. I don't know what prompted management to adopt NDA. Are there any breach of NDA in recent past or a whimsical idea of a layman?
In my views, if there any NDA related issues exist then all the employees should sign. If some people denying,ask the reasons of such denial. Because people deny for certain clauses without clarity and lopsided on management front or sometimes absurd points found. Ask the employee to resign and go, if their denial has no worth or having any substances.

You need not be deterred by the threat of resignation. As such the industry sector is facing a recession and job hunting is not easy. When there is a policy for having NDA agreement, a few employees cannot threaten and blackmail the organisation. These fellows should be confronted and made to fall in line.
