Global Compliance: 3 Major Concerns 1 Data Privacy 2 Discrimination 3 Affirmative Action
Data Privacy Around the World Level of Regulation European Union (EU) European Economic Area (EEA) Other countries (USA…) Countries with some regulation (Australia, Korea, Canada…) 80+ countries have adopted comprehensive laws regarding information privacy The most restricted area is Europe Some countries inside EU even more restrictive
Data Privacy Around the World • Common data protection rules: • Right to ACCESS • Right to CORRECTION • Right to OBJECT or CONSENT • Certain data can’t be recorded or stored in certain countries • Best practices for a multinational organization with employees in Europe
Discrimination • Age discrimination is a growing challenge with forced retirement in some countries • Gender in many countries in Europe and Canada Never export EEO strategy outside U.S. (except for expats) Define a global discrimination policy
Affirmative Action Affirmative Action is only applicable in some countries, and varies in each country • Limited actions in countries like India, Brazil, Germany • Could be based on other criteria, such as gender • Need a local consideration because of the differences Examples: • Brazil • Costa Rica Guatemala • Germany
