How TextSeal Helps You Record Who Read New Policies and When

Introduction

For HR and compliance teams, keeping track of who read which policy, and when, is a critical part of ensuring workplace safety, legal compliance, and audit readiness. But traditional methods like email notifications, shared folders, or internal intranets fall short when it comes to reliable, verifiable records.

In this article, we explore how TextSeal offers a simple, secure, and tamper-proof way to document employee acknowledgment of new policies, helping HR and compliance teams minimize risks and protect the organization.

The Challenge: Proving Policy Distribution & Acknowledgment

HR departments regularly roll out:

• Updated workplace policies
• Code of conduct
• Safety guidelines
• Privacy and data handling policies

But the process of ensuring every employee has read, understood, and acknowledged these policies is full of gaps:

• ✅ Emails can be ignored or deleted
• ✅ Internal logs are easy to fake or dispute
• ✅ It's hard to prove exactly when an employee accessed a document
• ✅ In audits or disputes, HR lacks reliable evidence

This leaves organizations exposed to compliance risks, legal liabilities, and penalties.
