Employer Challenges

DVPC’s research and experience with clients confirms that in internally managing Government funded initiatives employers confront the following challenges:

  • Dealing with the maze of regulations and red tape absorbs valuable management time and the knowledge necessary is quite often outside the employer’s scope and capabilities
  • Inconsistencies and a non-unified approach to implementation leading to duplication of effort and excess administration overhead
  • Lack of funding awareness leading to missed funding opportunities
  • With over 2000 programs to choose from, complications in selection of what Government funded initiative are most relevant with the result that non-contextualised “off the shelf” packages are introduced
  • With more than 4000 potential providers to choose from there is wide variation in the quality and capability of these organisations which can lead to appointing a  provider lacking the necessary scope and/or pro-activeness  to claim maximum Government funding, incentives and or innovation payments
  • Choosing inappropriate delivery methods leading to productivity issues, workplace disruption and employees spending too much time off the job
  • Missing vital steps and loss of paperwork leading to non-payment of incentives
  • Inconsistent and incomplete methods relating to recording, reporting and tracking resulting in possible audit failure and re-payment of incentives
  • Maintaining poor records of who participated in what and when and not recording or monitoring the companies "Bottom Line" outcome
  • Administering the paperwork is considered painful and takes up too much employee's valuable time
