What is Disaster Recovery (HR)?

The HR-specific processes, plans, and protocols for protecting employee data, maintaining workforce operations, ensuring payroll continuity, and supporting employee well-being when a disaster disrupts normal business operations.

Why it matters in hiring

Disaster Recovery (HR) comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
