How do you know what standards apply to me?

Through our online policy profiling system we will gain knowledge of what policies you need to have in place to meet the basic compliance requirements for each agency.  In conjunction with the profile, we use our EMC³ customer compliance survey to initially assign responsibility to job titles and this provides us with information a consultant can analyze for quality cross checks.  Basically the data from the input will tells us people, process and place information necessary to create an EMC³ custom template.  This custom template now can be manipulated by you, the end user for even more customizing.

How do I know what training is required for each of my employees?

You will also have access to an online training analyzer to help you choose the proper training for each job function, eliminating unproductive overtraining.
