Summary

We are already seeing a rise in employee data subject access requests (DSARs) as lockdown “unlocks”, with the pace increasing as the rate of change in the workplace increases. Join us for a practical webinar on how to prepare for and manage this tricky issue.

Employee DSARs have the potential to take up an enormous amount of time and cost. Each case can escalate quickly, not only in terms of complexity, but each also carries the potential for further litigation, meaning there are many things employers need to get right when processing each DSAR.

As the economy unlocks, individuals’ working situations change and businesses restructure, the number of DSARs from disgruntled or former employees making claims is set to rise even further. Employers should take every possible step to mitigate the potential risks to avoid unnecessary costs.

Morae and Squire Patton Boggs recently co-hosted this webinar to discuss thoughts and experiences on this topic. This hour-long discussion on the practical do’s and don’ts will help you to better understand how to deal with each employee DSAR effectively and with minimal cost.
