Feature Packed Software

Bright Contracts is teeming with useful functionality, from the obvious to the obscure. Yet it delivers it all in a neat, easy to use package. You'll wonder how you ever managed without it.

Unlimited Employees

Bright Contracts does not set a limit on the number of employees you can add. And there are no confusing price brackets that depend on the number of employees you have.

Create Your Staff Handbook

Use the suggested content or customise it to your needs. Add pre-defined sections or add your own proprietary sections. Re-arrange as required.

Create Employment Contracts

Create a contract for each employee and record when they are signed. Archive old contracts. Base one contract on another for rapid creation.

Styles, Fonts, Colours

With full control over cover pages, logos, headers, footers, fonts, colours, and more, you can ensure your documents match your corporate identity, or just simply make them look how you want.

Document Previewing

Before you print a handbook or contract, you can see an accurate on-screen preview of how it will look on page. Scroll, zoom and pan controls make it simple and flexible.

Keeping Track

An employee is flagged red if he or she does not have a handbook or contract. An employee is flagged amber if he or she has an out of date handbook or soon to expire contract.

At a Glance

The summary screen gives you an overview of handbooks in use, recent handbook updates, who does and doesn't have a handbook, and who does and doesn't have a current signed contract.

Why Your Employee Handbook is a Critical Line of Cyber Defence

A trusted employee just received a performance review that left them feeling unappreciated. Very quickly, your business could be at serious risk—and it has nothing to do with their technical skills.

The Hidden Cybersecurity Threat: Employee Apathy

Apathy is a serious and often overlooked threat to cybersecurity. When employees feel undervalued, their vigilance fades. This can lead to careless clicking on suspicious links, using weak passwords, and ignoring security protocols. A disengaged employee can unintentionally open the door to cyber-attacks.

Here's a common scenario: a dedicated employee receives disappointing feedback and begins to question their place in the company. Frustration builds, engagement drops, and apathy develops. Suddenly, mistakes creep into their work habits, shortcuts are taken, and cybersecurity slips. The company has just become much more vulnerable to cyber threats.

Employee Engagement: A Key Cyber Defence

Strong employee engagement isn't just good for morale - it's an important cybersecurity defence. When people feel trusted, valued and connected to your company's success, they naturally remain vigilant about security. Engaged employees are more likely to contribute to a culture that prioritises safety.

Strengthen Your Defence: Review Your Handbook Policies

An effective first step to bolstering employee engagement is to focus on your Employee Handbook policies. These policies have a direct impact on how employees feel about their workplace and employer, which in turn affects their cybersecurity behaviour.

Key policies to review include:

  • Performance Management Policy: fair and transparent processes help employees feel valued and motivated
  • Health and Safety Policy: a commitment to safety work fosters trust and confidence
  • Grievance Policy: a clear and responsive grievance process helps to prevent frustration and disengagement

Key Takeaways

Any workplace procedure that leaves an employee feeling undervalued or unfairly treated could compromise your company's cybersecurity. Employee Handbooks aren’t just HR documents - they affect security outcomes and impact everyone in your company.

Bright Contracts provides a comprehensive suite of Handbook Policies designed to help employers meet their obligations confidently and foster a positive work environment. Visit our website or speak with our team to learn how we can support you in protecting your business.
