In HR, you must ensure you perform regular compliance audits and correct any gaps to avoid these penalties.<\/span><\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n                      <div id=\"content-breakdown-18\">\n                            <h6 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">How to achieve organizational compliance<\/span><\/h6>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Achieve compliance by being aware of your obligations, communicating with employees, creating and enforcing policies and procedures, delivering required training, and staying up to date on legislative changes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Create a compliance culture<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Compliance is everyone\u2019s responsibility, but you need to create an environment where everyone feels accountable for and empowered to make good decisions, like following company policies and reporting issues. This means that compliance values are inherited at every level of the organization and are written into mission statements and company goals. Employees often look to senior management to lead by example, so empower leaders to champion compliance and practice values (like DEIB) consistently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Communicate with and educate employees<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Employees can only follow the rules they know about. Communicate expectations through company polices and train employees on standard practices and how to respond to compliance issues (like workplace hazards). Leaders should also be fully trained on how to handle employee complaints and workplace investigations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Document your policies in one location and make employees aware of how to\u00a0find\u00a0them. Provide policies in accessible formats so all employees can\u00a0use\u00a0them. From time to time, you may need to update policies, procedures, and training to reflect changes in legislation and your work environment. Communicate these changes to affected employees as soon as possible and share how their work\u00a0may\u00a0be altered\u00a0because of these changes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Create safe reporting procedures<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Employees learn quickly that reporting issues leads to either positive organizational change or punitive measures. If management reacts harshly to complaints, employees are less likely to report issues in the future, which can\u00a0worsen\u00a0compliance issues. Ensure employees feel safe approaching leaders about their concerns and communicate that they will not\u00a0suffer\u00a0any form of reprisal for reporting a complaint in good faith.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Likewise, employees who violate company policies may not learn from progressive discipline alone. Encourage employees to learn from their mistakes whenever possible by focussing on how they can fix problems instead of assigning blame. This way, they feel empowered to become accountable for their actions, make better choices in the future, and become advocates for compliance in the workplace, instead of learning to hide their faults or neglecting to report errors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Design and enforce policies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As mentioned earlier, compliance\u00a0doesn\u2019t end with you stating employee expectations and guidelines. Organizations must enforce policies and ensure they correct issues before they lead to systemic problems. Additionally, every level of the organization should be held accountable. This means that reporting and progressive discipline need to be fairly delivered to employees and leaders alike.<\/span><\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n                      <div id=\"content-breakdown-19\">\n                              <h6 class=\"text-transform-uppercase fg-color-pink mb-12 font-size-16\"><strong>HR technology for every compliance need<\/strong><\/h6>\n                            <p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You\u2019ve\u00a0got a lot on your plate.
