Overview (Program Summary)

Many organizations struggle with a deeply rooted culture of over-retention, where employees save nearly everything forever. This behavior creates serious challenges, including elevated privacy and security risks, increased storage and legal discovery costs, and widespread noncompliance with records policies.

Traditional methods of addressing this issue often fall short. Employees may resort to “underground archiving,” stashing documents in insecure or hidden locations to avoid automated deletion ultimately exacerbating risk.

In this ACC Information Governance Network Legal Update, Tom Mighell and Mark Diamond of Contoural will explore why these behaviors persist and offer practical, real-world strategies to curb document hoarding. Attendees will learn how to drive use automation to drive proper retention and disposition management, affect cultural and behavioral change, reduce unnecessary retention, and ensure important records are retained for the right amount of time.

It’s time to stop blaming employees and start implementing smarter, sustainable solution.
