Governance is underpinned by the integrity of policy management, do you have the right tools for the job?

Yes, there are a number of tools which allow you to control exactly who has access to whole documents or just selected sections of a document, we call this Access Scope and Section Scope. The Access Scope can restrict access to departments, groups or individuals, whereas the Section Scope restricts access based on User Level settings.

Yes, you can choose if the document you are going to publish requires users to acknowledge they have read and understood the content by setting the Acceptance Scope.  You can decide who falls inside this scope and can choose from the entire user base, specific Departments or Groups, User Levels or individuals. Once set up you can send all users within the Acceptance Scope automatic emails and reminders.

Yes, we have a tool called Risk Matrix which allows you to start at the highest organisational level and drill down and displays a matrix grid of current compliance status. So for example if you have offices in multiple Countries your first view would be a Country by Country comparison.  You can then drill into each Country viewing departments, groups and down to individual users.  This also serves as a great way to monitor the Compliance Health of the business.

Yes, you can embed lots of rich media content inside documents, sections, topic landing pages and many other areas of Policy Central.  You can also control what can be embedded from a central dashboard so that admin users can’t just embed things you have not yet approved.  Some of our clients have embedded Lucid Charts, Miri Charts, Slide Shows, Spreadsheets, whiteboards and video to provide a very engaging environment.

Yes, documents are made up of Sections, you can either use one section for all content within a document or provide greater flexibility by breaking down the content into sections. You can then set the Section Scope for particular User Levels.  For example you may have a handbook containing 10 sections and the first 6 sections are accessible to “Job Candidates” + “Established Employees” and then the last 4 sections are set to just “Established Employees”. When the potential “Job Candidate” logs in they will only have access to the first 6 sections of the handbook.  If you set them up within the “Acceptance Scope” you will be able to record they have read and accepted the Handbook.

Yes, we have a team of Associates that are experts within their field that can help you with content for policies, procedures, guides, handbooks, contracts and training.

Yes we can work with you to identify what you are wanting to achieve, review the feasibility and come up with a plan that meets your requirements. We can work with your other software providers directly so you aren't put in the middle and have to relay tech details back and forth.

Yes, there are a number of existing reports that provide you with everything from document history, user history, document acceptance, user acceptance, compliance levels, quiz/assessment results, search terms, audit logs, email reminder scheduling and more. However if you find that the report you are looking for doesn't exist, we can create it for you.

Yes, you have full control over when automated notifications are sent, including elevating alerts to line managers giving visibility of team progress.  It is also a great way to set reminders for annual reviews of policies ready for audits and assessments.

Yes, Change Control and Version Control is built in from the ground, this means that you can always review what has changed, when, by whom, the reason for change.  You can even review previous versions and report on which users had accepted that particular version.  It acts as a sort of automatic "Expert Witness".

Yes, any user can be set as a team leader and have other users reporting to them.  This then allows the Team Leader to view the team compliance todo lists and reports.  They will even get elevated alert notifications if members of their team are yet to accept a policy or complete an assessment by a certain deadline.

Yes, by adding your Supplier as a user and setting their Access Scope and Section Scope they can view, read, accept and complete quizzes and assessment forms. You will then have a permanent record of their compliance and be able to use Policy Central as a channel for communicating policy and supplier reviews.

Yes, you have full control to grant access to users of your choice. In this instance assign the user “Topic Administrator” rights means they will only have admin abilities for the specific topic only.  For example, you can rest assured that your HR consultant won’t be able to change content in the ISO topic areas.

Yes, we have developed Policy Central over many years with our internal development team and this makes adding custom modules and features quite straight forward. Once designed and approved by you we develop, test, release and support the new module or feature. The average turn around is 2 months.
