NETconsent Policy Manager

Create legally valid proof of employees having seen, understood & agreed to policies

It is essential that organisations put in place effective policies and controls, which complement new business challenges, whilst addressing legislative and regulatory requirements.

Screen shots of NETconsent Policy Manager In a growing litigious society, policies and procedures must be available, kept up-to-date, clearly communicated and identifiable for compliance reporting. Agreement to each and every policy needs to be tracked, so that organisations can prove compliance and demonstrate sound governance.

NETconsent policy management software offers a proactive approach to the policy management life-cycle, thereby ensuring high levels of policy compliance and protection from risk for your organisation and employees.


Operational Efficiency

Clearly manage policies

Making policies more visible and enforceable raises standards of individual accountability and conduct.

Confirm understanding

Measuring employees' knowledge of policies helps identify areas of potential risk.

Identify non-compliancy status and reason

Supports improved decision-making to target expensive training resources more selectively.

Record read time

Management can prove whether staff are really taking time to read critical policies to improve compliance.

Central repository of all policies (current & historic)

Increases the audit efficiency by providing an audit trail of people’s awareness/understanding of crucial legislative and regulatory requirements.

Personal Productivity

Easily create and edit policies

Minimal training is required for staff to create and edit policies.

Effectively distribute policies to relevant users

More pro-active than a corporate intranet where no guarantee users will read policies.

Policies can be tailored and targeted to employee groups so they only read relevant policies.

Collate and track user acceptance

Compliance Management & Reporting

Comprehensive real-time accurate management summary reports

Makes management decision making more effective.

Detailed exception reports providing actionable data

Ensures policies are consistently applied in everyday workplace practices to achieve standards of excellence and agreed performance targets.

No client installation required

Minimal deployment and support requirements.

Role based administration

Maintain tight security by granting access based on policy life-cycle tasks to be undertaken.
