STAYING AHEAD OF THE TECHNOLOGY CURVE:  Policies and Procedures to Keep Pace with Today's New World

Are your technology policies and procedures up-to-date with the demands made by today’s technologies? What about the demands of tomorrow’s technologies? Sure, you probably have a policy addressing general computer usage, equipment, and email, but there is a lot more to consider.

In this program, we’ll be discussing what your policies should include, the use of smart technology, and the need for social media rules in the workplace. Also on the agenda are suggestions on procedures you should adopt when those policies have been violated, and what employers need to brace for when tomorrow’s technology becomes today’s everyday tools.

As technology makes the world far more accessible, employers must contend with increased privacy, confidentiality, and proprietary concerns. Yesterday’s IT policies and procedures just aren’t useful any longer.
