Administrative professionals can feel overwhelmed by the amount of records and documents they encounter. This has been compounded as the definition and source of records has evolved with new technology that affects the way organizations operate. Records come in a variety of formats, and administrative professionals must be able to correctly identify and keep, or delete, them. This OnDemand Webinar will provide administrators with the necessary record retention knowledge and skills to make informed decisions with respect to record preservation obligations. The program will provide an overview of record retention principles and sources. Tips for managing record retention obligations on a day-to-day basis will be explored.
