Data Protection

A combination of widespread internet availability and increasingly onerous legislation has transformed data protection and privacy in the workplace in recent years. Little more than a decade ago, most organisations ran their HR records on IT systems but were severely restricted by storage limits, access speeds and in most cases, limited internet use. The amount of personal data a company can hold on an employee is almost limitless, and in today's virtual world of online recruitment and social networking there is more information available through the internet than ever before.

Designed for:
HR directors and managers, HR officers and advisors, HR business partners

Training highlights:
