GDPR, a data privacy shake up: is your HR department ready?

• Understand and get to grips with the legal changes;
• Determine whether your organisation is ready to comply from day one;
• Build your action plan.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which applies from 25 May 2018, will bring about a step change in risk for organisations that process personal data. Will your organisation be ready to comply from day one? It’s time to take action. You will have by now heard about the significant administrative fines that organisations may face for breaching the GDPR – depending on the type of breach, you could be looking at handing over up to the higher of: — €20 million or 4% of the total worldwide annual turnover in the preceding financial year, or — €10 million or 2% of the total worldwide annual turnover in the preceding financial year. This considerably increases organisations’ regulatory risk exposure to levels that demand proper attention. The GDPR will also require extensive changes to be made to your organisation’s operations including within HR. The changes are complex and take time to implement. As this workshop will take place a few day before the deadline is reached, its goal will be to help you make sure your HR processes are in conformity with the new regime.
