Employer responsibilities and how to address them

GDPR isn’t just about your customers…

Many companies are focusing their GDPR efforts around their external data. They’re reviewing processes and systems to ensure compliance with customer’s new rights. However, the new regulation also extends to the data you hold on your employees. So as May 2018 approaches, it’s important to include HR and payroll in your planning too. They should have a permanent seat at your GDPR table, right alongside finance, IT and operations.
“We wanted to give individuals more responsibility for keeping track of their own data and was looking for a solution with manager and employee self- service which would allow individuals to access information such as employment details
„  Bray Leino, one of the largest creative communications agency outside London. 

Are you ready to respond?

If an employee wants to see all the data you have on them, how would you respond? How long would it take you to pull together all that information? Do you really know where it lives? You’ll definitely have HR records and payroll information, but what about all the other personal data? Their interview submissions, their expenses claims, their absences etc? This is likely to be stored across different systems, on people’s desktops and personal folders, and also in physical filing cabinets.Employees will have strengthened rights under GDPR, so HR needs to: 
  • Understand what data they have on employees
  • Optimise their HR systems to better manage that data
  • Prove to employees that their data requests have been actioned
