Gain valuable information for successfully organizing, storing, archiving, and destroying your organization's critical business documents.

Now, more than ever, it is absolutely critical that you maintain accurate records, be able to access them immediately, and store and dispose of them properly. Many organizations (perhaps yours?) lack a records retention policy or systematic records management process, instead relying on a haphazard approach that can place them in legal jeopardy.

Learn how to build an effective records management, retention, and destruction program in just one day of focused, information-packed training …

• How to plan, develop, and implement a records management program from the ground up
• The Records Retention Audit: an easy way to assess the entire content of your files
• Guidelines that help you identify the types of records, forms, and documents you should maintain access to, archive, or destroy
• Why saving records for too long can be as harmful as too-hasty records destruction
• Records management software: what works, what doesn't, and what's best for your organization

You will learn how to ensure that employees implement the policies and procedures you initiate … gain tools and tips for keeping your program current … discover the methods best suited to your organizational needs for not only storage and retrieval, but also the often daunting task of records destruction … and get a "crash course" in the latest legal developments pertaining to records. This seminar is jam-packed with practical, real-world solutions you can put to work as soon as you return to the office. Fascinating case studies, examples, and "best practices" offer an exciting window into the most effective records retention programs in today's organizations, from large corporations to small businesses, to reveal what works — and what doesn't.

Could your records retention policy use an overhaul?

• Is your records retention program outdated or difficult to access and maintain?
• Are your file cabinets bloated and desktops stacked with documents and files no one is quite sure what to do with?
• What about all those boxes of floppy disks tucked away in storage rooms? Are you sure there's nothing important — or dangerous — lurking on old hard drives?
• Can you confidently say the records in your organization are in complete compliance with the newest legislation and regulatory requirements?

Attend this one-day course and find out how to assess and troubleshoot your current system. You'll learn how to review it with a critical eye and develop a solid, workable records retention program that serves your organization and employees effectively.
