The decision to convert from a paper recordkeeping system to an electronic system has been contemplated by HR departments across all industries for several years.  Some have made the conversion and others, for a variety of reasons, have not taken the plunge.

In 2003 the Human Resources Department at Mid-Continent Casualty Company decided to begin the process of converting from paper files to electronic.  The decision was made after observing the company's underwriting operation make the transition which resulted in increased efficiencies, improved service and long term cost savings.  Julie Callahan, Human Resources Manager, will provide details on the planning, implementation and future direction of Mid-Continent's system.  Kristen Brightmire of Doerner, Saunders, Daniel & Anderson, will provide attendees with:

  • A legal overview of electronic recordkeeping requirements; and
    "Lessons learned the hard way"

Join us as we take the first steps toward going paperless!
