GDPR Human Resources Support Packages


GDPR


With the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) coming into force on 25th May 2018, organisations are beginning to ramp up preparations to meet the Regulation’s requirements. After this date, any organisations, large or small, which fall short of the Regulation will be liable to claims from personal individuals for breaches with regulatory fines of up to £20m or 4% of annual turnover. 


The biggest risk to your business in reality is from complaints to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) from employees, customers or competitors for data breaches. 


From an HR perspective, it is critical for organisations to consider whether existing policies and procedures are GDPR compliant, especially where time limits may be a factor, e.g. in relation to breach notification and Subject Access Requests (SAR's). The Regulation significantly enhances the rights of data subjects, which will in turn present greater compliance obligations for employers. 


As a minimum, the introduction of GDPR means that employers should review their documentation to ensure that: 


  • data protection and privacy considerations are embedded;
  • only the minimum amount of personal data is collected and processed for a specific purpose;
  • there is a legal basis for processing personal data; 
  • individuals whose personal data is being processed and provided with privacy notices. 


To support human resources departments and businesses as they work towards compliance, we offer practical advice in relation to management of employee and personnel data. Our complete GDPR HR toolkit is £599 + VAT and includes:


  • Guidance on how to start preparing for GDPR
  • Guidance on how to develop and implement a compliance programme
