Admin
Multi-site, without multi-system.
Companies manage affiliated companies or locations, so a group of sites runs one program while reporting separately where it must.
12.3
Admin
Target a shift, not the whole company.
Divisions & Departments structure the workforce so assessments, communications, and reporting can be aimed precisely — the night shift, not everyone.

Admin
Classify roles once, use them everywhere.
Job Titles & Job Functions classify roles to support targeted delivery and workforce analysis, so "team leads" is a group you can actually address.
12.5
Admin
People Leaders
PHS duties written into the role.
Job Descriptions integrate psychological health and safety requirements and psychosocial considerations per role, so the duty is part of the job rather than a memo about it.

Each field switched on narrows the anonymity margin — the threshold protects the rest.
12.8
Admin
Collect what you can use, and nothing more.
Demographic Field Configuration chooses which demographic fields are collected, balancing analytical value against the privacy cost of asking.
12.9
Employee
A profile finished before it is needed.
The Demographic Completion Prompt guides new users through their profile before they continue, so analytics has its denominator from the start.

12.10
Admin
It should look like your workplace.
Organization Profile & Branding applies your logo and colours across the platform, so the program reads as yours rather than as software you bought.
12.11
Admin
Know who you have engaged, and until when.
Vendors manage external providers and service partners, with the contract detail that otherwise lives in one person’s inbox.
