advance forms of technology, but overlooking the subject matter can cause

9. A very necessary part of E-HR is the understanding of electronic discovery or e-
discovery.
In civil litigation, companies and employees may now use discovery to gain
information that is in an electronic format. Items often retrieved in e-discovery
include (among a growing list of other forms of data) voicemails, e-mails, office
documents, video footage, and text and instant messages.
Obtaining information for e-discovery is extremely time-consuming and
expensive, which is why it is important to properly organize and maintain
electronic files and other forms of electronic data before a company has a case
involving e-discovery.

order to be prepared for e-discovery:
 Protect potentially relevant data from being deleted
or modified
 Implement and follow company policies regarding the
retention and destruction of records
 Comply with all regulatory compliance obligations
 Enforce processes and policies through technical
means
 Pay all of the costs associated with their own
discovery efforts
