HR Systems for People Management, Computer Misuse and Acceptable Use or Computer Policy Violation
The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) recently reported that 70% of companies surveyed had taken disciplinary action, against employees, for computer misuse, (failing to comply with their company computer policy or AUP, acceptable use policy).
If you have dismissal issues, if your HR systems policies and procedures are not up to date, if your people management skills mean that your computer misuse policy isn’t working, then HRProACT is the HR Systems that will resolve these People Management and Computer Misuse issues.

Research by the Gallop Organisation suggests that only 17% of all employees are really engaged with what the business is seeking to achieve. 83% of all employees were not fully engaged or motivated by the job they were employed to do.
People who are not actively engaged in their job are not adding value to the business, are wasting time, and more likely to have high absence levels.
