Advancing information management in HR

Managing extensive amounts of information is part of the HR professional's routine. Beyond ensuring that all files — particularly organisational and employee data of a sensitive nature — are systemically archived, an organisation’s HR department holds broader responsibilities. They must ensure compliance with data protection laws and optimally uphold data sorting, retention, and dispensement best practices, among others.

And, as we move further away from paper-based HR document management toward paperless digitalisation, organisations are looking to modern solutions that securely and optimally cover the full HR documentation lifecycle.

From secure document storage and shredding, to asset lifecycle management and full digitisation transformation solutions, Iron Mountain provides comprehensive document management services tailored to the evolving needs of HR departments.

  • Approximately 48% of respondents rated their information management at 3 or less out of 5.
  • Over half of the organisations report having no information management processes that are mostly or completely automated.
  • Nearly a third (31%) of organisations indicated that sensitive employee information could be significantly more secure.
