Why the ‘tick and flick’ approach to workplace policy training is risky for small business.  In a recent case, a small business faced a $33,000 payout after an employee, dismissed for misconduct, claimed he was unaware of policies he’d breached. This highlights the dangers of a ‘tick and flick’ approach, where policies are acknowledged but not genuinely understood - a costly mistake for employers.   Key takeaways: - Simply having employees sign off on policies without ensuring comprehension can lead to liability issues and misunderstandings.  - Embed policies into onboarding with accessible, interactive formats like videos and scenario-based workshops to help employees internalise them.  - Encourage questions and provide regular policy refreshers to keep everyone aligned.  To read the full article, learn about what this means for your small business, visit:
