I will also discuss three acts; Data Protection Act, Computer Misuse Act and Copyright Act. Self-motivation is ability to do what needs to be done, without influence from other people or situations. People with self-motivation can find a reason and strength to complete a task, even when challenging, without giving up or needing another to encourage them. Self-motivation is really valued by employers because so you do your work and not hand in work in late. Leadership is the individuals who are the leaders in an organization. Employers value this because they want you to be creative and be in charge of the task whilst guiding the other people. Leadership involves establishing a clear vision, sharing that vision with others so that they will follow clearly, providing the information, knowledge and methods to realize that vision. Communication skills is the ability to send information to another effectively and efficiently.

Once this has been completed and during periodic reviews, it is necessary to define the retention and disposal policy. Business data records should be assessed for the statutory and legal requirements, business and accountability requirements and the risks associated with keeping or disposing of the data records. A records management system or schedule of data retention criteria can be used to document the data records, the requirements and the security controls needed for their identification, storage, protection, retrieval, retention and disposal. There are a large number of statutes, case law and regulations defining how long some data must be kept for before it is destroyed — some of which are outlined on the following pages. A few requirements such as records of wages apply to almost all sectors, but we have listed some specific requirements for the communications, financial and governmental sectors. Other sectors have equally important requirements. The exact minimum retention period varies with the specific data type, and the starting date is often context related e.g. period from an event like an accident, retirement or the advertisement of a product. This document is based on the previous work...

...Electronic Surveillance of Employees Professor Michael Hall Law, Ethic, and Corporate Governance- LEG 500 November 1, 2011 Explain where an employee can reasonably expect to have privacy in the workplace. You may think your United States employee rights authorize you to have a privacy workplace. People are wrong because, according to workplace privacy studies, the odds were good that your employer was monitoring all your internet actions, including your web pages and chat rooms (Niznik, 2011). If your company policy does not state there is a workplace privacy policy, your employer may watch, listen, and read just about everything in workplace area. Employers have the right to protect their business, their finances, and all of their equipment. The American Management Association (AMA) conducted a study of 526 employers which most use some type of electronic surveillance of the employees (Niznik, 2011). Many employers will deny they use any type of electronic surveillance however; the odds are good that your employer has “the eye,” watching your every move at work. Employers are not required to provide workplace privacy because your employers own everything you use at work. Your employers own the computers you work on, the telephones you talk on and the buildings in which you work. There are only a few weak employee workplace privacy right laws that exist. Since there are so few workplace privacy laws, it is legal for “the eye” to spy on you without your...

...Module 3: Recording, analysing and using HR information 3RAI Kathrina Yarwood Activity 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2 The storing of data also known as data management is important for any business or organisation. There are several reasons why an organisation would need to store HR data. Any data collected would be invaluable for various reasons including but not limited to compliance, reporting, business planning and budget setting. An organisation or business can collect any number of different types of data including absenteeism information, equality and diversity questionnaires, in respect to compliance and reporting data collected would include absences, retention information and skill set information. Budget setting information would include workforce numbers, revenues and potential business opportunities. One main HR priority is to track and store existing employee data. For an organisation to move forward, to be able to report on staff accurately and if needed to validate the value of teams or certain job roles, Human resources must have a good understanding of the data and also have a suitable system to secure the data. Management at the highest level require data collected by HR departments as the data would be essential to their planning the future direction of the organisation and make them aware of any number of significant issues such as employee retention and enable them to pursue a solution.

...ICT and Legislations In this essay, I am going to analyse current issues and developments in communication and information technology, to include digital and mobile technology and the internet. Where would we be today without technology? Personally, I would be lost, from using my I-phone or setting my alarm to using my docking station for my music. My TV in my bedroom has chrome cast, which keeps my little man safe and occupied whilst mummy is getting ready. It transforms any television in to a smart television that means you can access net flicks or you tube. My son watches Blippi, which provides educational videos for toddlers. It also helps me keep my life simple, for example using my Bank of Ireland app. I can check my balance and my direct debits without having to request a statement or going to the bank. In the past, I used the weather app to scrutinize the weather forecast, pick the best beach to go windsurfing based on the conditions. Now because I am an Irish mammy I use it for reasons that are more important i.e. when is it a good time to hang out the washing. The developments in communication technology also mean we can broadcast information to a wide audience all over the world in a short period. This is very useful for advertisements, conveying important messages and updating citizens on important news. Communications technology has helped us in many ways in our public and private lives. Businesses now use social media for advertising and marketing rather...

...technology (ICT) on how it affects the ways in which people work. It then considers the different ways in which organisations may use ICT. In particular we focus on the various stages through which a company may pass, from simply using it to collect information, to a strategy where linked ICT systems control the whole process from initial customer enquiry through to manufacture and delivery. We then go on to look at the question of security. Use of the internet and Web has significantly increased the risks of theft or loss of information that may be of benefit to criminals or the organisation’s competitors. How can individual managers act to reduce those threats? The next topic is the rights of people whose personal information is collected and stored by organisations. You’ll see how governments around the world have introduced data protection legislation to protect people’s rights. Finally, we’ll look at the ways in which governments and other regulators require organisations to report financial and other information. This may be, for example, to ensure that the organisation pays an appropriate level of tax, or to ensure that potential investors have accurate information about the company. Influences of ICT on Work Mullins identifies four major influences of information and communications technology on people at work: * It influences the specific design of each person’s work.Think of a standard template being introduced to help people write reports.
