Course Description

Managing a large volume of electronic records is a challenge in any workplace. While records management may seem like a small part of your day, the hours of lost time caused by errors — in addition to the potential costs of a privacy breach — all add up. Electronic records management training is the best way to keep your skills current, streamline your work and manage risk more effectively. Records management is an increasingly complex topic involving issues such as privacy, security, regulatory compliance and intellectual property law. Often — especially when working electronically — habits become ingrained and adapting to reflect new realities becomes a challenge. One of the benefits of records management training is that it keeps professionals up-to-date on the laws, technologies and other considerations that can potentially expose them to risk.

Beyond risk mitigation, electronic records management training can also help you discover ways of working more effectively. Less time correcting mistakes on files means more time to focus on other activities. It can also help you make better use of your staff, increase employee satisfaction and retention and more.
