Why Policy Acknowledgment Tracking Shouldn't Be Optional
By SimplifyIT | Published
Did They Read It? Can You Prove It?
Financial institutions run on policies - security, lending, HR, you name it. But just posting them on a shared drive doesn't mean employees have read (or even seen) them. When examiners ask for proof, 'we emailed it out' isn't enough.
The Risks of Loose Tracking
- Missed updates go unnoticed by staff
- No paper trail when regulators or auditors request proof
- High liability if unacknowledged policies lead to operational missteps
- HR exposure during disciplinary action or termination
Without acknowledgment tracking, you're hoping - not knowing - employees are following the latest rules.
What a Smart Intranet Can Do
A purpose-built intranet makes acknowledgment tracking easy and automatic. You can:
- Require digital sign-offs before users can proceed
- Get time-stamped records for every user
- Send reminders to staff who haven't acknowledged
- Generate reports instantly for HR or compliance
This isn't just about convenience - it's about protecting your institution.
Built-In Protection for Banks and Credit Unions
SimplifyIT's intranet includes acknowledgment tracking as a standard feature - not an add-on. It's secure, searchable, and tailored for the regulatory environment financial institutions live in.
No More Guessing
If you don't know who's read what, you're exposed. Let's fix that. Request a demo and see how easy it is to track - and prove - policy acknowledgment.
