IT Misuse and the HR Professional

IT misuse is becoming one of the fastest-growing areas of crime or misdemeanour in the workplace. It is also a fact that many cases of IT misuse are compromised within the first 30 minutes of discovery as those to whom the problem is first reported take inappropriate actions, not understanding the full ramifications of their actions.

HR professionals are increasingly becoming this first point of contact in the reporting of such incidents. Called upon to initiate, oversee or assist with an investigation, many HR managers find themselves in unfamiliar territory, not realising that their actions  might make or break the situation. It is a common misperception that HR procedures have to conflict with investigative processes when this is not the case - it is simply a question of understanding the big picture and developing aligned strategies from the outset.

"IT misuse and the HR Professional" is a unique one-day seminar, designed to provide HR managers with a better understanding of the threat of IT misuse to the organisation. Subjects covered include: potential sources of threat;  how misuse can be  identified and investigated; the role HR professional can play in the process;  the handling of the investigation and the individuals involved;  and the steps needed to ensure a successful resolution.
