As individuals, we each have our own specific goals, dreams, and aspirations. While we’re generally free to pursue those goals throughout our lives, we’re also constrained by certain legal codes and regulations that dictate how we can and can’t go make our dreams a reality. For example, someone who aspires to be a physician cannot simply don a white coat and a stethoscope, walk into the nearest hospital and start diagnosing patients. The only true and proven way for that person to reach their goal is to navigate a set of specific requirements, which including attending medical school and obtaining a license.
In the same way, every business is constrained by a set of norms, policies, and laws that regulate how it can (and can’t) go about achieving its goals. These norms and laws vary from industry to industry, from region to region and across time. As a result, it’s essential for every organization to ensure that its day-to-day business practices conform to each of the regulations and legal codes that are in place. This is a process that’s known as compliance.
The variety and complexity of the legal landscapes surrounding businesses make compliance a very complicated and time-consuming task. Thankfully, this is precisely where compliance consultants can help.
What is a Compliance Consultant?
A compliance consultant is an individual or organization that partners with a company to oversee its myriad compliance-related obligations. As we’ve just seen, these obligations are extremely multifaceted, and they vary in their specifics from one business to the next. Compliance includes everything from ensuring that an employer’s paid leave policies are up to date to providing adequate training services to new employees. When you partner with a third-party compliance consultant, you’ll be ensuring that your business is not infringing upon or deviating from any industry, local, state, or federal policies or laws. This, in turn, will ultimately provide you and your team with much more bandwidth to commit to the more pressing day-to-day concerns of running a company.
To provide you with some additional clarity, here are some specific examples of a compliance consultant’s responsibilities:
Modify business practices and procedures to comply with evolving norms and laws.
Design communication strategies to keep employees updated and informed about everything from benefits packages to shifting employer policies.
Oversee the execution of specific projects to ensure that compliance is maintained from launch to completion.
Monitor (and if necessary, update) all employer regulations surrounding the recruitment and onboarding of new employees.
