Navigating the complexities of electronic records management is more critical than ever for Human Resource professionals, particularly as the shift toward digital documentation accelerates. This webinar offers a foundational overview of Electronic Information Management (EIM) and dives deep into the legal, technical, and practical implications of records retention and destruction. HR professionals will gain insight into why indiscriminately retaining or discarding data can expose organizations to significant legal risk.

This session will explore key legal rules affecting HR-related records, including personnel files, emails, instant messages, voicemail, and disaster recovery backups. You'll also learn how to develop and apply compliant and defensible records retention policies, the legal triggers for suspending routine ESI destruction, and how to prepare for a paperless transformation. With a focus on real-world application and legal compliance, this webinar will equip you with the tools needed to build a sustainable and legally sound records management framework.

Topics Covered:
  • Fundamentals of Electronic Information Management (EIM)
  • Legal implications of data over-retention and under-retention
  • Developing a defensible Records Retention Program
  • Key HR data retention regulations
  • Transitioning to paperless operations securely
Your Benefits for Attending:
  • Understand why retaining all data—or none—can be legally hazardous.
  • Identify the legal and practical considerations for implementing an effective Records Retention Policy.
  • Learn how statutory, regulatory, and judicial requirements determine key retention periods.
  • Explore best practices for organizing and storing employee personnel files and sensitive HR-related records.
  • Gain clarity on when and how to defensibly destroy ESI and when legal holds must be applied.

This webinar is a must-attend for HR professionals looking to enhance their knowledge of legal compliance in electronic records management and safeguard their organizations against costly data missteps.

Who Would Benefit from This Webinar:

Human Resource professionals, HR compliance officers, and anyone responsible for managing employee records and organizational data.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
I loved that you had an example of how an HR person handled a situation. The do's and don'ts. It was a great way to show the continuing process of a situation. Would love to see more of these types of scenarios and the best way to handle them.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
I don’t know if the topic was accurate - I thought it was if 12 weeks wasn’t enough but this was fantastic for me as I needed this information. I would have loved for it to be a 2part webinar as there is so much info to cover. I also would love to see going over the forms and the cadence of when to fill out and how.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
This webinar was for entry level HR people. Not sure if the description indicated that, although there were a few small items that I learned, I was expecting it to go far more into how to handle situations that go past the FMLA timeframe. It was a long time spent on a topic that most HR people would already know.
