Email is more legally dangerous than ever. In recent years, email mistakes have triggered million-dollar jury awards and media feeding frenzies. The maze of employer rules and responsibilities relating to email content, monitoring, record retention, policies and best practices is staggering.

• When is it illegal to monitor employees' email?
• Do you have to pay employees for time spent writing job-related emails at home?
• When (if ever) can you legally delete employees' archived emails?

Don't leave your email management to chance.

Join us on Tuesday, October 8, for The New Rules of Email: How to Prevent Liability and Manage Records, as nationally recognized email expert Nancy Flynn, founder of The ePolicy Institute, will walk you through the best-practices strategies to manage email rules, records and regulations.

Since email became mobile (on phones and tablets), your risks have multiplied, led by overtime claims, off-the-clock work, data breaches and inappropriate content. Plus, HR pros face mounting confusion over the preservation, protection and production of business emails and other electronically stored information (ESI).

The interactive workshop will cover topics including:

1. What HR and employers need to know about email content, records and risks
   • How to draft a strategic email management policy to anticipate and deflect legal liabilities, regulatory disasters, data breaches and other email risks
   • Best practices to ensure legal, regulatory and organizational compliance
2. Why and how you must preserve, protect & produce email business records
   • How to recognize a true email "business record"
   • E-discovery risks and rules: Complying with federal & state laws
   • Regulatory requirements: Know the guidelines to prevent HIPAA, FLSA and other risks
3. Establishing best-practice email, mobile device and BYOD policies
   • Strategies for writing and implementing effective policies & procedures
   • How email policy – supported by training & technology – can support your legal position
   • Step-by-step plan to manage email usage at work, home and on the road
4. Best practices to minimize risks and maximize compliance
   • Tips for effective email policy training
   • Monitoring rules: Reconciling privacy expectations with legal realities

Employee email creates the electronic equivalent of DNA evidence, yet only 34% of organizations have email retention policies in place. And if your employees are working on their phones, you're risking a million-dollar FLSA lawsuit.

Join us on October 8 to learn how to manage email records, minimize email risks and maximize your legal, regulatory and organizational compliance.

Sincerely,

Pat DiDomenico, Editorial Director
