Creating a Workforce AI Edge: Safeguarding People Data in the Age of AI

In today’s data-driven world, protecting sensitive people data is crucial for any organization. Organisations developing or using increasingly sophisticated technology such as Generative AI should be considering their data protection obligations from the outset, taking a data protection by design and by default approach. The importance of getting it right cannot be overstated. Successfully implementing robust data protection measures ensures compliance with global regulations, enhances trust among employees, and allows organizations to harness the full potential of their People Analytics initiatives. Successfully protecting sensitive employee data brings multiple upsides, including the ability to perform valuable workforce analytics without compromising privacy. This not only helps in identifying trends and insights that drive strategic decision-making but also in improving employee engagement and retention by fostering a culture of trust and transparency.
