Legal Risk Mitigation and Cost Avoidance

HR Acuity helps companies implement employee relations and investigation best practices, consistently documenting employee cases and proactively responding to potential problems. HR Acuity helps companies avoid potential litigation by helping the employee relations team identify potential hot spots and problem areas early on and take proactive measures to correct the issues. HR Acuity puts checks and balances in place to ensure that employees in similar situations are treated the same as well as providing a mechanism to protect privileged conversations with counsel. Ensuring a comprehensive investigation is conducted, remediating similar situations consistently, and creating documentation that could withstand legal scrutiny helps reduce the risk of discrimination claims. Case information is readily available indefinitely, and it can be shared with counsel should issues arise later, regardless of turnover or attrition in the organization.

Proactive employee retention and turnover reduction

HR Acuity helps ensure that employees are treated consistently and fairly, improving organizations' EX. The strategic benefits of improved EX are significant. For the sake of this business case, Forrester has quantified the benefit of improved EX as reduced employee turnover. While more consistent, fair treatment of employees cannot guarantee a reduction in employee turnover, it's an important factor in creating an attractive employee experience. Employees who feel they are treated unfairly are more likely to seek alternative employment and take their grievances to public review sites.
