Here are some of the recent highly engaging posts that have stimulated discussions within our community:

• We are currently conducting benchmarking for records management within our organisation. Would you kindly share the full-time equivalent (FTE) dedicated to RM work in your organisation?
• Let's have some fun! Members have shared their answers to the following statement: "If I had a dollar for every time I have heard '...', I would be retired and enjoying life at...".
• An interesting discussion arose when an industry colleague mentioned their firm's need for a SharePoint Administrator. They asked for opinions on the role, and it turned out their organisation viewed it as an administrative position focused on setting up document libraries and handling record-related queries, rather than the security and overall administration of SharePoint, Purview, and Entera. Does your firm have a SharePoint guru, and if so, what is their official title?
• I'm currently in the process of developing an Information Governance Framework, and I would greatly appreciate input from those who have embarked on a similar journey or are currently implementing one. My aim is to create a draft document that will serve as a framework when engaging with key stakeholders to ensure that all objectives, roles, and responsibilities are met.
• Here's a question that may seem basic from an Information Security and Records Governance perspective: When it comes to work-from-home arrangements, most legislation and guidance refer to "organisational policy" as the guiding principle for allowing or prohibiting the transportation of physical records. Specifically, we have someone who wants to retrieve files from our archives (which are permanent records not yet digitised) and take them home to review the contents. What are your thoughts on this, team?
