Maintaining compliance is a complex and time-consuming endeavor for employers of any size. It demands a proactive strategy that goes beyond reacting to potential breaches. It’s about identifying, understanding, and seamlessly implementing requirements to help ensure your business operates ethically and legally.
In our webinar, Automating Compliance—Mitigating Risks and Driving Excellence with Workforce Technology, Virginia Wear from WorkForce Software and our partners Anna Powell and Lani Davis from Rizing discussed this critical topic.
“Automating ‘the easy’ is a big key portion here because with automation of some of your hardest rules, there’s no more room for human error or careless mistakes. Nothing gets missed.”
— Lani Davis | Consulting Manager, Rizing
The Strategic Advantage of Compliance: More Than Just Avoiding Fines
While avoiding regulatory fines is critical to compliance, its benefits extend far beyond that. A robust compliance program builds trust internally with employees and externally in the marketplace. Committing to high-quality standards enhances your company’s reputation, positioning you as a responsible and trustworthy partner.
A culture of compliance fosters a safer workplace. This, in turn, attracts top talent and reduces employee turnover, giving your organization a significant competitive edge in today’s tight labor market. In an era where ethical business practices are paramount, compliance becomes a key differentiator, particularly when competing for partners who prioritize working with responsible businesses.
Automation: Lifting the Compliance Burden to Improve Accuracy
Employers can effectively manage the complexities of compliance by automating key processes. Automation can reduce the risk of errors and improve consistent adherence to regulations.
- Maintaining Records: Automation can improve the accuracy and accessibility of records for unions, CBAs, EBAs, and work councils. This streamlines audits and reviews, ensuring transparency and accountability.
“What’s great about [automation] from a compliance perspective is that we provide all the standard documents or communication of a leave case in one place.”
—Virgina Wear | Solution Consultant, WorkForce Software
- Financial Accuracy: Fully accurate, audited payroll results are essential for maintaining trust and transparency. Automation eliminates the risk of human error, providing clear visibility to employees, managers, HR, and the legal team.
- Automating the Easy (and the Hard): As Lani points out in the webinar, automating even the most complex rules eliminates human error. WorkForce Software’s solutions can detect missed punches, automatically apply lunch penalties, and enforce compliance requirements, freeing your team from the burden of memorizing intricate regulations.
- WorkForce Products: Time Off in Lieu (TOIL) and Absence Tracking are WorkForce Software’s solutions that offer built-in rules and a regulatory knowledge base, simplifying compliance. The powerful integration of leave management and time management further streamlines processes and reduces the risk of errors.
Businesses can transform compliance from a reactive burden into a proactive strategic advantage by leveraging automation.
