How to Empower Your Office Staff and Avoid Compliance Issues
In order for your office to stay secure, your staff needs to be in full compliance — the research shows that most breaches are caused by employee negligence. Here are a few ways getting compliant with PCS gives your staff the support they need to keep your practice in compliance at all times:
Ongoing Training and Resources Available to Everyone at All Times
Without the proper training, it’s easy for employees to find themselves in an inappropriate situation or compliance gray area because they don’t know better.
At PCS, we offer one of the most comprehensive compliance systems in the industry, as well as a wide range of training resources to ensure that you can train and retrain your team on the compliance guidelines they should keep in mind at all times.
Efficient New Hire Onboarding
Onboarding a new hire means teaching them what they need to know to be successful as a member of your team. In these early days, however, the building blocks of compliance may not be covered as thoroughly as you need them to.
PCS offers compliance resources and trainings perfect for a variety of roles within the practice as well as a range of experience levels, ensuring that hiring someone new doesn’t mean opening your practice to the risk of a lapse in compliance.
Strict Policies on Discrimination and Harassment
Discrimination and harassment in the workplace are common causes for claims and legal disputes. It’s important that the policies in place empower employees to speak up when they have concerns.
What we have found over the years in this industry is that in many eye care practices, the concerns management has are often different from where infractions are actually occurring. For example, do you know the difference between a “hostile environment” and “workplace bullying?” With our HR Compliance package, we can help you…
- Build an airtight employee handbook
- Stay current as regulations change
- Learn how to meet legal requirements when the need presents itself
