Information Management Month, April 2018

April is recognized internationally by industry and government as Information Management Month (IM Month). The Management of Information Act outlines IM requirements for the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador and public bodies. As an employee, you are legally obligated to comply with this Act. The Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) provides employees with policies, directives, standards, guidelines and best practices to support compliance. This Year, the IM Month theme is Let’s Keep the “I” in IM!. Click on an IM Eye for a valuable IM tip or reminder.
