WINNER HUMAN RESOURCE EXECUTIVE MAGAZINE'S TOP TRAINING PRODUCTS OF 2006
"The program is the first we've seen addressing such a comprehensive array of false assumptions about e-mail that are common in the workplace, assumptions that can cause serious trouble for an employee or company, ranging from lawsuits to public relations disasters. Since most employees don't realize that sending and receiving e-mails creates permanent records, this program is an efficient and consistent way to sensitize them to appropriate e-mail practices. Employees can also relate to the realistic scenarios, which reinforce many do's and don'ts."
- Human Resource Executive, October, 2006
This training is designed to reduce e-mail risk by:
Encouraging employees to think carefully before sending e-mails
Explaining how e-mails can come back to either haunt you or help defend you
Emphasizing the need to keep a professional tone to your organization's e-mail
Electronic Discovery is the biggest development in corporate litigation in decades. E-mail surveillance products can now easily scan millions of e-mails, including their attachments, to gather ammunition in a court battle. You must be aware that your organization's e-mails will now likely be reviewed during litigation.
It's the question that we ask every time the media tells us about another smoking-gun e-mail. It's a question with a simple answer - e-mails are sent out every day that could come back to haunt you and your organization.
The real question is whether your organization is doing enough to protect itself from becoming the next victim of e-mail carelessness.
