Electronic Record Keeping for HR Professionals

Being tasked with managing your organization's files and records can be intimidating. As new laws and regulations pass that dictate what you must keep and for how long, as well as what information must be destroyed and how, the responsibility can seem overwhelming. With so much information and such strict procedures for handling it all, are you confident that you have an electronic records program in place that satisfies the needs of your organization while meeting legal compliance standards?

The process of organizing, storing, archiving and destroying your organization's critical business documents is one that can't be taken lightly. It's imperative that you can decipher which information should be kept electronically and what checks need to be in place to keep that data secure.
