The processes that must be followed may be introduced, monitored and governed by internal HR, legal or management staff, or by external lawyers or legal consultants depending on the size and nature of an organisation.
Legal compliance becomes a bigger issue for organisations with fast changing legislation. These include businesses involved in:
- Pharmaceutical and healthcare
- Businesses that have an environmental impact
- Food and catering
- Banking and finance
Staff adherence to legislation is also an important consideration for businesses with a high turnover of staff. Industries most affected by this issue include:
- Hotels, catering and hospitality
- Call centres
- Hairdressing and beauty therapy.
However, legal compliance to some extent affects virtually every business and organisation of every size. All employers need to ensure the health and safety of their staff for a start.
This blog looks at tools, advice and services to help manage this issue and stay on the right side of the law at all times.
