Next Steps
When your employees log in for the first time, they'll be prompted to read and acknowledge any policies you've shared with them. It's a quick and easy process that ensures everyone is on the same page and up to date with your policies.
But what about employees who have already read and acknowledged your policies? Make sure to let your employees know that this is a perfect opportunity for a refresh. Encourage them to log in to Employment Hero, read through the policies, and acknowledge them again. It's a great way to make sure everyone is up to date and compliant with your policies. Plus, with Employment Hero, you can easily track who has read and acknowledged your policies, making it a breeze to stay on top of compliance.
