In a mad rush to advance into the New Economy, companies frequently ignore the critical issues and problems that face the Human Resource practitioner as a consequence of technological innovations. With more information becoming digital and increasingly accessible on-line, these companies oftentimes overlook the importance of installing a comprehensive security system for their networks, thereby exposing confidential information to the public. To increase the productivity and maximize the return on their investments, they thrust new tools upon their employees without due regard to the risks that may come into play.

We believe that the rapid pace of the New Economy should not be a reason for companies to disregard the simultaneously developing trends in Human Resources. The tools of the new technology should be closely examined and constantly reviewed to determine how they may benefit the evolving workplace, without undermining the hidden risks involved.

This Seminar aims to introduce the Human Resource practitioner and administrators to these productivity enhancing tools. More importantly, it discusses the risks related to the use of these tools and prepares them to face the challenge of working in the New Economy.
