As gatekeepers and processors of personal employee data, HR leaders and teams have a critical role to play. By the very nature of their purpose, HR and People teams are already the key custodians for much of the personal data that companies hold about their employees. Data is captured throughout the entire employment journey, from a person exploring job opportunities as a candidate, right through to when someone leaves the organisation. Therefore, HR has the biggest role to play in ensuring the safe, secure and compliant processing of personal data for a companys workforce.
