COURSE DESCRIPTION: Federal Rules of Civil Procedure now state that every email, every spreadsheet, every digital file of any kind - plus every PC, every laptop, every server, every thumb drive, and every CD-ROM in your organization is fair game in a court of law.
That means all your digital assets need to be organized, tracked, and would need to be produced on demand should your organization face legal claims involving ADA, discrimination, safety incidents, firing, sexual harassment, etc.
These requirements created a tidal wave of work for companies seeking to comply. But many business leaders are still wondering, “Just how far do we need to go? Our resources are limited. What’s reasonable?”
This course will explore several major developments in case law as well as new legislation aimed at clarifying what you REALLY need to do now to comply.
Participants in this course will learn:
