records retention policies

Records retention policies are guidelines that organizations create to determine how long they should keep different types of documents and records. This can include anything from employee files to financial statements. The purpose of these policies is to ensure that important information is retained for legal, regulatory, or operational reasons, while also helping to manage storage and minimize clutter. Ultimately, these policies help organizations stay compliant with laws and regulations, protect sensitive information, and make informed decisions about what to keep and what can be safely disposed of.
