Editor’s Note

When it comes to HR, do you huddle up in the corner, wearing a tinfoil hat to protect your business against lawsuits?

This isn’t actually 100% true of all HR professionals. However, if you are still doing your HR admin on paper, then you might as well print off a purchase order request for a new tinfoil hat. Because you’re a liability to your business.

Of course, lawsuits are not the only risk you’re running, by handling your HR admin on paper. Sat Sindhar, in his article If You Do HR Admin On Paper, Then You Are A Liability, shares several very different reasons as to why doing your HR admin on paper makes you a business liability.

This article, featured as the cover article this month, will help you understand the implications of paper files, and the impact this has on your wider business goals.

The writing is more than on the wall. It’s scrawled everywhere you look, and it’s in bright, flashing letters that can’t be ignored. It screams at you, at everyone that passes, a single and undeniable truth: Businesses must protect their employees.

This is neither a new concept nor a revolutionary idea. It is a belief many of us hold to be self-evident. And now, it is written into law.

Ammon Curtis' article Employers Must Protect Employees’ Identities, Personal Data, takes a closer look at what the recent Pennsylvania Supreme Court (PSC) ruling means for Pennsylvania businesses, their employees, and the entire nation.
