Online Workplace Compliance Management System
Software for Australian Business
Regardless of the size of your business, the risk associated with breaches in work health and safety, privacy, workplace bullying, sexual harassment and equal employment opportunity is on the rise. The internet and social media have made your workplace even more complex, as your staff are now vulnerable to online discrimination, sexual harassment and cyberbullying outside of regular work hours. Furthermore, 70% of Australian businesses do not have a reliable workplace compliance management system in place. As a result, engagement surveys, exit interviews, and lost time injury reports all point to a massive shift in absenteeism, staff turnover, lost productivity, decreased employee engagement and a dramatic rise in mental health issues. The absence of a reliable workplace compliance management system can also lead to significant claims for legal liability, lost time spent in investigations, mediation and legal proceedings, lost revenue opportunities, irreparable reputational damage and the destruction of shareholder value.
