Employee Benefits, Grievances, and Termination: EDM and Workflow Help Manage HR
Life can be intense. Every day, employee dramas enter the workplace unsolicited. Some of the greatest workplace concerns we face as HR professionals, employees, and caring colleagues are making sure:
- Health needs are met and costs are covered as anticipated.
- Everyone is treated fairly by managers and co-workers, able to work without discrimination or harassment.
- No one makes (or must endure) threats in the workplace, idle or real.
Intentional wrongdoing, inadvertent employee mishandling, shoddy record keeping, or a manager or worker with a hidden agenda can devastate company finances, reputation, and employee morale. Noncompliance penalties, unemployment insurance, time-consuming training programs, lower productivity, and other HR costs can pull strongly on the bottom line as a result. So what can you do to:
… help staff members comply with corporate policies?
… improve confidence, trust, and satisfaction with your HR department and company?
… discourage workers from wrongdoing and prevent acts of poor judgment?
… protect your organization and its workers from engaging in and getting away with---or experiencing---harassment, unjust treatment, false accusations of such activity, or other harm?
… guard your organization against false accusations?
The answer lies in timely, complete, accurate documentation…along with the ability to organize, associate, and handle information appropriately, consistently, and quickly when you need it. The challenge: gathering it from diverse places including your HR software, document repositories, payroll systems, email, voice messages, and more, and maximizing its use everywhere it has value.
