Pre-Employment Records Are Records Too
Read Time: 2 minutes 30 seconds
Like every organization, you’re in the business of hiring. So, what if an applicant doesn’t quite make the cut? After you send the letdown email or make the call to the hopeful candidate, you probably have some common next steps. Do you shred the applicant’s resume and toss their application? Maybe, like many businesses, you keep the resume on file in case you want to revisit the job seeker’s credentials later. Despite what you might think, there is a wrong and a right way to approach the retention of these records. We’ve touched on...
Records Management in the Movies
Create a Super(hero) Disaster Recovery Plan
If you’re like me, you often “marvel” at the large-scale destruction wrought on major cities during the epic fight scenes in superhero movies. But if you’re also an IG professional, you may wonder how businesses in places like Gotham and Metropolis recover from the aftermath. If you think mega-disasters are the stuff of science fiction, consider the following: with an estimated 10 billion habitable planets in the Milky Way, it’s only a matter of time before someone with a hammer, cape, or gold bracelets (and a perfect physique) appears to rescue us from impending...
The Right Tool for the Job
Most of us are familiar with the expression, “When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.” Well, if all you have is a hammer and you need to change the oil in your car, you’ll probably be frustrated during the attempt and less than satisfied with the results. The solution? Use the tools that were designed for the work you need to do. This same principle should be applied not only to the tools you keep in your garage but to the software you use personally or professionally. It’s going to take more than a “hammer”...

Keeping Pace with Changing Information Governance Requirements Just Got Easier
Information governance and records retention are pressing challenges for every organization. No matter what industry sector you are in or how large your enterprise is, regulatory compliance, data privacy and intelligent information management are C-suite concerns for all organizations. This is especially true for companies in information-intensive fields such as banking and financial services, pharma, and healthcare.
At the same time, organizations must also be able to preserve and present information when relevant for litigation and audit. Non-compliance or an inability to produce the requested materials in a timely manner...
The Records Manager’s Utopia: A Single Source of Truth
Reading Time: 3 minutes
Let’s talk about information. There’s so much of it, right? The plight of managing information isn’t new to you, me, or most professionals. If you need to, you’ll handle the issue on the fly, no big deal. Here’s a day we’ve all lived: you start perusing the network for the latest retention schedule for this year’s tax records at 9a, give up, and email Bill at 9:15a, because the guy knows everything about taxes. A patient two-hour wait and voila! It’s finally yours. You make your 30-second update and shoot an “instant” message to Barbara (who,...

Picture this: you’re at the office, and you have a job to do. Naturally, you need software to complete at least some portion of your job. You’ve found that no single platform has all the features you need to complete the work. Many infogov professionals are in the same boat. Repeating data entry into multiple systems and keeping them in sync manually can be a time-consuming process. How do you address this common and frustrating issue?
Many of us use the best features from different systems and create a process to get the systems to work together,...
How Information Governance Brought Plain Language to the Forefront
Read time: 2.5 minutes
Tired of hearing about the GDPR? Me too. That’s why I’m not going to talk about it for long. Still, one term that appears in the language of the GDPR continues to resonate with me, and that’s “transparency.” Article 12 of the GDPR requires the use of transparent communication. More specifically, it reads, “The controller shall take appropriate measures to provide any information and any communication relating to processing to the data subject in a concise, transparent, intelligible and easily accessible form, using clear and plain language…” It’s important to understand that transparency...
