VinciWorks’ GDPR training for HR staff
VinciWorks’ GDPR course, GDPR: Privacy at Work begins with a course builder that allows your staff to take the course most suited to their needs. Upon completing the short form, a course will be built that is catered to that individual’s role within the organisation, meaning HR staff will only complete the most relevant modules for their role.
