Multinational employers are increasingly leveraging sophisticated, cloud-based solutions to manage their global workforce. HRIS databases provide great benefits, but also raise complex legal challenges. More than 70 countries now regulate the processing of employees' personal data, including restrictions on cross-border data transfer. And in May of 2018, Europe's landmark new data protection framework will take effect. This session will provide practical recommendations for implementing HRIS solutions in compliance with global data protection laws. This session will give you:
· An understanding of the evolving and complex global legal framework governing HR data management.
· Compliance guidance on the new European Union General Data Protection Regulation.
· Practical strategies for achieving your global HR management goals while complying with data
protection laws that vary across jurisdictions.
