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.

The handout was great. The only issue was the technical glitch with the videos. The videos would have been nice however the presenter did an excellent job recovering.

If presenter could find a way to make the embedded links work in the presentation that will be archived, it would be helpful. It is possible as we do it here at work. One would just click the link on the slide and it would take them to the video.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
Seems there are many technical difficulties with various webinars as the last 3 or 4 I've attended all had this issue. This webinar would have been fabulous if the videos would have worked. I'm hoping Aurora and the presenter can find a way to offer a link or someway to watch the videos as they were instrumental to the overall presentation. Is there a way that presenters can practice the presentation via Aurora to try to resolve technical difficulties before the live performance?
