Lesson Overview

16.2 – The Purpose of a Records Retention Policy: A records retention policy defines how long different types of documents should be kept and when they can be safely destroyed. This ensures legal compliance, transparency, and efficient use of storage. Keeping records indefinitely creates clutter, while deleting them too soon risks liability. A clear retention schedule outlines timeframes for financial, personnel, and operational records based on regulatory rules. Policies must be accessible and updated as laws evolve. They give employees confidence to manage files responsibly and consistently. Following these timelines preserves integrity and prevents chaos during audits or disputes. A strong policy reflects foresight, efficiency, and commitment to responsible data stewardship across all departments.
