Importants of HR in a down economy

In this down economy, HR faces some serious risks as employees are worried about money and the possible loss of their jobs. Nonetheless, HR managers can be proactive to protect their companies from harm.


Here are just a few things to consider:



1. The Pilfering Privilege. The risk of employees accessing company documents and trade secrets is high, because employees have access to much of the company's data through computer usage.



2. Txtul hrsmnt--no lol (Translated: Textual Harassment--not laughing out loud). Inappropriate texting leading to harrasement claims.



3. $how Me the MONEY! Wage and Hour claims.



4. We Shall Overcome. Possible unionization of workplace.



5. Will You Still Love Me When I'm 64? Age discrimation claims on the rise.



This is only a partial list where employers may want to cosider the need of an HR program to help answer questions, defense againest problems, and help ease the consequence of a problem.
