Technology and Tactics: Providing strategies to help HR make the right decisions

You think you found the right candidate - only to learn three months later that you hired the company nightmare.

From recruiting to termination, the responsibility of making sound and legally defensible decisions rests with the HR department. This interactive session will review key technology and tactics HR professionals can add to their arsenal to ensure they have all the information needed to protect the company from crippling employment lawsuits. We�ll examine case studies that proactively avert potential HR nightmares across the employment cycle, from recruitment through post-termination. We will also uncover key issues around social networking sites, web crawlers, security, electronic usage policies, and computer forensics. �Learn about the presenters

Get a free copy of our Electronic Usage Policy Checklist

An Electronic Usage Policy (EUP) provides employees with information and guidelines on what they can/cannot do with your company's electronic data, computing equipment and data services. Every company should have a formal EUP in place that is communicated and signed routinely by every employee, including contractors. Type of business, technology in use, company culture and level of acceptable risk are some of the factors that can influence the framework of the policy. However, a more focused and comprehensive policy will provide the company additional protection from issues, including litigation, if and when a violation occurs. Effective policies will have buy-in from HR, legal, management and IT; they should be reviewed and approved by legal counsel.

 

David J. Yarnall, CCE, President of IT Acceleration and Director of Digital Forensics, can provide your organization with a presentation on how to create, implement, and enforce an EUP within your organization. For more information, or for a copy of our free EUP checklist, please complete the form below and click "Send Email" to submit your request.
