Written by Jonathan DeVore | Nov 30, 2021 9:19:49 PM

Is compliance important at your company? If you need employees to be compliant with policies and procedures, then you are probably nervous about mistakes resulting in:

  • Loss of money
  • Fines
  • Employees getting fired
  • Loss in trust
  • Audit findings

As the Director of Transformational Services at ScreenSteps — a knowledge base software company for documenting and sharing procedures — I've noticed one common mistake with compliance in businesses.

The mistake — the people writing your policies and procedures aren't focused on how people will use those policies and procedures.

Whether you are a company in the finance industry, customer service sector, or others, this 3-minute video provides insight into why it's a mistake to have people who don't use your guides, write your guides.

Then, I explain what you can do to fix it so your employees use your procedures to avoid mistakes.
