Global Teams, Global Risks: The HR Leader’s Playbook for GDPR Compliance
Inge Zwick on GDPR, global teams, and why compliance is really a trust strategy
When organizations outsource across borders, data compliance can’t be an afterthought. It has to be built into every stage of the process. In this article published in HR Future, Inge Zwick, Executive Director and Head of Europe at Emapta, breaks down what HR leaders need to know about GDPR when managing outsourced and offshore teams.
From mapping data flows and classifying sensitive information, to building compliance into contracts and regular audits, Inge outlines a practical six-step framework for navigating GDPR without the overwhelm. She also addresses a common misconception that GDPR is purely a European concern, and explains why it applies to any organization worldwide that offers goods or services to individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA), Great Britain (GB), or monitors their behavior.
The article reframes compliance not as a legal burden but as a foundation for stronger vendor relationships, operational resilience and organizational trust.
Read the full article to understand where your outsourcing arrangements may carry hidden risk and how to close those gaps before they become violations.
