Understanding HR and employee compliance basics

What is HR compliance?

HR compliance involves making sure your company plays by the rules when it comes to employment laws, regulations and internal policies. This covers everything from hiring and paying people fairly to fostering positive employee relationships and keeping everyone safe. 

It’s about protecting your company from legal headaches, ensuring everyone’s treated with respect and building a workplace people actually want to be part of.

Your HR and employee compliance questions, answered.

  • What is employee compliance, and why is it important?

    Employee compliance means following the rules – the laws, regulations, company policies and ethical standards that keep things running smoothly. It’s important because it benefits everyone: it protects the company from legal trouble, minimizes risks and helps maintain a positive reputation. It also creates a fair and safe workplace where everyone feels respected.

  • What are the common challenges when managing employee compliance?

    Keeping up with changing regulations can be tough – especially across multiple territories and markets. So is making sure everyone understands the policies and actually follows them. Sometimes people might resist new rules, or it can be a challenge to make compliance a natural part of everyday work. And of course, if people aren’t aware of the requirements, it’s easy for your people to slip up without meaning to.

  • How can a company ensure that employees are aware of compliance requirements?

    Think of it like ongoing learning. Regular training sessions, updates on new policies, clear communication, and easy-to-access resources all make a difference. Refresher courses are a great way to keep compliance top of mind. 

    At NAVEX, we create ethics and compliance training courses that make employee and HR compliance easy to understand and follow. We offer interactive training that’s tailored to different roles, keep everything organized in one place (the Compliance Hub), and send helpful reminders so nobody misses a beat.

  • What tools or systems can help manage employee compliance?

    Technology can make things a lot easier. There are Learning Management Systems (LMS) for training, compliance management software for tracking and reporting, and even automated reminders for policy updates. Document management systems are also helpful for making sure everyone has the latest versions of everything.  

    For keeping everything involving employee compliance in one place, there’s the NAVEX Compliance Hub. It brings together all your employee’s tasks, from training to policy acknowledgements, into one easy-to-use portal. This simplifies the compliance journey for everyone, making it easier for your people stay on track and informed.

  • How can organizations measure and monitor compliance among employees?

    Regular audits, assessments, and checklists help you keep an eye on things. You can also use software to track things like training completion and policy acknowledgment. It’s also a good idea to look at performance metrics and gather feedback from employees.  

    With NAVEX One GRC software, you have the tools to track employee compliance progress through policy attestations and training, spot potential risks through reports made, and see how well your compliance efforts are working by consolidating data cross your employee compliance activities. Think of it like a dashboard for your employee compliance program – easy to understand and always up-to-date.

  • What steps can be taken if an employee violates compliance policies?

    But it’s not just about punishment – it’s also important to offer additional training or counseling so the employee understands why compliance is so crucial. Consistent (and high-quality) resources and enforcement as part of your HR compliance program helps everyone stay on track.

  • How can a culture of compliance be cultivated within an organization?

    It starts with leadership setting a good example and making compliance part of the company’s values and everyday routines. Recognizing and rewarding those who do things right is key, as is encouraging open communication about any compliance concerns. Providing ongoing education and involving employees in creating and reviewing policies also fosters a sense of ownership and shared responsibility.
