The Management aspect of E-HR involves drafting policies and controlling both the traffic and collection of electronic information.
As new technology comes out that is more portable and capable of creating and storing more information, it is the responsibility of HR to define how employees interact with the data. According to a Deloitte study in August 2008, 90% of employer data is electronically stored information (ESI), and 40% of executives say that data volumes are becoming unmanageable. Unmanageable data makes locating relevant data more challenging which can manifest into significant losses through wasted storage space and reductions in productivity. Excessive data volumes is especially troublesome during litigation that requires electronic discovery.
E-HR policies strive to control and organize data within an organization. To accomplish this, effective records management policies must be created to facilitate lean data storage which involves maintaining pertinent information while removing data as it becomes irrelevant.
