Steps to Success With G&E Disclosures using ConvergePoint

Step #1: Assess Your Current State

Begin by examining how you currently handle G&E disclosures. Identify gaps, redundancies, or inconsistencies. Understanding your baseline ensures you configure ConvergePoint to address real problems directly.

Step #2: Tailor the System to Your Policies

Work with our ConvergePoint implementation team to build forms, workflows, and approval chains that align with your compliance framework. We’ll help you translate your policies into user-friendly digital processes, eliminating guesswork and ensuring everyone follows the same playbook.

Step #3: Train Your Team

Introducing new technology always involves a learning curve, but by leveraging the Microsoft 365 SharePoint familiarity, user adoption becomes simpler. Provide training materials, host Q&A sessions, and highlight the software’s ease of use. Emphasize the benefits—fewer manual tasks, clearer guidelines, and faster approvals—so your team sees immediate value.

Step #4: Communicate Clearly and Consistently

Roll out the new system with clear communications about why these disclosures matter and how the software supports ethical operations. When employees understand the purpose behind the tool, they’re more likely to embrace it fully.

Step #5: Monitor, Adjust, and Improve

Use the platform’s analytics to evaluate what’s working well and where there’s room for improvement. Maybe certain departments need additional guidance, or a threshold value needs adjustment. Continuous monitoring ensures that your G&E compliance program remains effective and relevant as conditions evolve.
