Employment & Employer Services (E&ES)

COLLABORATIVE COMPLIANCE THROUGH ONGOING GUIDANCE AND PARTNERSHIP

E&ES employs a collaborative approach to compliance, working closely with employers to ensure they understand and meet programmatic requirements. This partnership-driven model not only helps employers adhere to guidelines but also strengthens their alignment with the overall goals of E&ES’s workforce programs.

  • Proactive Compliance Orientation and Training: E&ES offers an initial orientation for new employer partners that covers programmatic and funding requirements, ensuring employers have a clear understanding of expectations. This training includes guidance on wage requirements, job retention metrics, and necessary documentation to remain in compliance. Employers are encouraged to ask questions and clarify any uncertainties, promoting an open line of communication.

  • Regular Updates and Communication on Funding Guidelines: E&ES recognizes that funding requirements can evolve, and they proactively communicate any changes to employers. They provide periodic updates, outlining adjustments in program expectations, new reporting standards, or additional documentation requirements. By keeping employers informed, E&ES helps them stay compliant as funding guidelines shift, reducing the risk of lapses in adherence.

  • Collaborative Compliance Support: E&ES emphasizes collaboration in maintaining compliance by offering support to employers through regular check-ins and compliance coaching. These sessions focus on reviewing the employer’s adherence to program standards, discussing any challenges, and identifying solutions to maintain compliance. This partnership-oriented approach helps employers feel supported rather than scrutinized, building trust and commitment to the program’s goals.

  • Compliance-Driven Continuous Improvement: E&ES uses insights gained from compliance reviews to inform continuous improvement efforts within their workforce programs. For example, if they notice trends related to specific compliance challenges, they may adjust training for new employers or provide additional resources to address these issues. This adaptive approach helps to create a more resilient, compliant partnership environment.
