Organizations today are faced with a daunting task of monitoring and tracking of health and safety of employee across industries. They must ensure good condition of organization health, meeting the regulations set by local city, province and state level authorities. However, it is not easy for organizations to capture the information and set up a mechanism to monitor and track these records. Let us look at some of the challenges that the organizations face from a business process point of view
1. Issue Reporting
Most of the organizations rely on paper based systems to report issues. The problem with paper based reporting is that there is a high possibility of losing the records or not capturing it properly. Data loss can also occur when there is a handover or transfer of records from one authority to the other.
2. Issue Assessment
Again, due to manual efforts being put during the assessment process, there is a possibility of human error occurrence.
3. No Real time tracking
Since everything is done manually, there is no mechanism to trace the incident report from creation to closure. There are no reminders or alerts to help the concerned authorities get relevant notifications.
4. No standardization of data
Every business unit captures the data in their own format and hence there is no clear visibility into the incidents at an organization level. This combined with no integration with any HR system causes lot of disparity in data computing.
5. Future improvements
Since there is no visibility into the incidents at an organization level, it is becoming very difficult for executives to make decision on future improvements.
6. No proper reporting mechanism
As the entire process is done manually done, there is no reporting that happens and hence organizations don’t get insight into incidents at operational, divisional and corporate level.
