Data Protection at Work

by Personnel Today 15 Jun 2004
by Personnel Today 15 Jun 2004

An
essential one-day seminar from PersonnelToday.com and IRS shows HR
practitioners and line managers how to deal with data protection issues, from
the collection of personal employee data to the storage and deletion of
records.

Data
Protection at Work

This
one-day seminar gives clear guidance on how to deal with data protection
issues, from the collection of personal employee data to the storage and deletion
of records.

The
Data Protection Act 1998 has caused a lot of uncertainty and the subsequent
Codes of Practice have failed to improve the situation.

Meanwhile,
employers have to deal with the practicalities as employees exercise their new
rights.

The
seminar provides advice on the practical application of the Act and suggests
how to draft an appropriate compliance policy.
