It only takes a single serious ER issue to turn into a fiscal and reputational organisation-wide disaster. This is particularly true in the current operating environment. COVID-19 has seen workforces scatter, and employees are reporting feelings of isolation, fear and uncertainty. Mental health issues are on the rise, and without a well supported workforce, a business simply cannot operate efficiently.

Organisations also have a responsibility legally, and in the court of public opinion, to operate ethically while being compliant to all industry and governmental regulations.

HR case management software also helps to manage organisational risk. By having an organisation-wide, centralised portal where all ER cases are tracked and managed, ensures a consistent approach, compliant tracking and documentation, and makes it far less likely a case will slip through the cracks.

Importantly, BI and analytics provide a tool for organisations to track ER trends and issues in real-time, so any ER issues can be identified and managed before they become organisation-wide problems.

Quick fact:  Without proper case management and tracking, valuable ER information may be missed, and without compliant collected and stored documentation, legal cases may be lost.

Workplace misconduct that isn’t investigated and remedied quickly can result in expensive legal and settlement costs, while liability for ethics and compliance failures extends to company executives, who can be held criminally responsible for the ethical lapses of the organisation.
