Neglecting business compliance is a massive mistake. Your company reputation and profitability is at risk if your company is in hot waters for non-compliance. Regardless of the size of your business, nearly all businesses have compliance laws and regulations in place.
- Not staying up-to-date
One of the most common mistakes businesses make is not keeping up to date with rules and regulations. Over the years, the number of laws has significantly increased and many existing ones have been updated.
Here’s a list of the most common policies:
- GDPR
- Health and safety
- Stop and search
- Driver handbook
- Medical fitness declaration
- Not handling paperwork correctly
It sounds like we’re stating the obvious, but when recruiting new employees many businesses fail to check the correct right-to-work documents, fail to record their documentation – failure to store records correctly and securely can cause you legal issues.
- Failing to stay complaint during rapid growth
When a business experiences rapid growth it can turn into a compliance nightmare if you fail to properly keep up. As an organisation evolves, it becomes imperative to proactively manage and adapt compliance processes.
