It’s sexy. No, it really is!

Compliance shows your values. It’s what your employees experience.

Becoming an employer of choice and providing a sensational employee experience starts by getting compliance right – all the time. Your customers and employees see your compliance as a reflection of the values of your organisation: how you feel about and respect your employees and society — your sense of what’s fair and just. Your customers will notice when you get it wrong, become headline news and damage your business and brand.

And your employees notice when you get it right.

What many organisations don’t see, but what employees know, is that the values of an organisation and the leaders within it are critical to the attraction and retention of top people. Values feed into the employee experience and whether they consider you an employer of choice, want to work for you or stay working for you.

“If a person fails to comply with a notice to produce records or documents, a Court may order penalties of up to $18,780 for an individual or $93,900 for a body corporate”.

Ignore it, and it’ll bite you.

Compliance is also complex. It’s easy to make a mistake, misinterpret an award, or miss the latest amendment to some regulation or other. It’s even easier to get caught (it only takes a single employee reporting you to the Fair Work Ombudsman). And with Fair Work task forces, senate inquiries, and crackdowns on many industries, you can’t afford to see compliance as just ‘ticking a bunch of legal boxes’.

The penalties for non-compliance are severe and can be enough to break the back of many small or medium-sized businesses. Intentionally ignore compliance issues and you could fall under what’s called ‘accessorial liability’, where you could be held personally accountable for breaches, whether you’re the business owner, a director, manager or employee.

Being compliant doesn’t have to be difficult.
