Podcast: Primer on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

Although organisations are increasingly aware of the new requirements under the EU General Data Protection Regulation, many are not sure how the GDPR will affect the HR function. We discuss how HR will contribute to the GDPR compliance process.

In particular, we look at possible HR roles in:

• conducting a data audit or creating a data map;
• identifying legal grounds to process employment-related data; and
• reviewing HR policies and procedures to ensure that they incorporate GDPR requirements.
