Social Services

Social service organizations often work with the most vulnerable populations – at-risk youth, seniors, people with disabilities, veterans, minorities – and are dedicated to solving some of our most persistent social problems – poverty, addiction, homelessness, healthcare. For organizations working in such vital areas, compliance should always be a top priority.

To ensure the well-being and success of both those they service and employees, effective risk and compliance management is a must for compliance managers of social services organizations. There are many aspects to consider including proper licensing of case workers, client or patient privacy, human resources management, monetary and in-kind contributions and more. All documents must be secure, up-to-date, well-understood and affirmed by all. Meet these challenges through online ethics and compliance software.
