Why paper inductions hold you back

Paper-based onboarding is outdated, inefficient and costly. Information gets lost or entered incorrectly, admin teams spend hours filing and chasing forms, and work health and safety requirements are extremely difficult to manage, store and prove.

An efficient and streamlined online induction process not only saves you time and resources now, but it also gives you the capacity to grow, with consistent training, fewer errors and economies of scale as your workforce expands.

The hidden costs of paper

Hours of admin

Printing packs, entering data, filing forms and chasing missing paperwork takes up time your team could spend elsewhere.

Inconsistent training

In-person inductions vary depending on who runs them, and workers have to be on site, at the same time, to attend.

Lost and outdated records

Paper records go missing, licences expire unnoticed, and finding evidence for an audit means searching filing cabinets.

Compliance risk

Without reliable records, it’s hard to prove workers were inducted and qualified if something goes wrong.

1. Move your induction content online

Turn your paper induction packs into interactive online courses with videos, quizzes and assessments. Build them in Altora’s course editor, embed your existing SCORM courses, or start from the course library. Our team can also help build courses from your existing training materials.

Group courses, forms and document requirements into programs, and use customisable training pathways to tailor them to each site, role and contractor type.

2. Induct workers from anywhere

Send workers a unique link so they can register and complete their induction from anywhere, on any device, before they arrive. They receive a certificate when they complete each course.

There’s no need to schedule in-person sessions or reprint packs when something changes. Update the course once and every new worker gets the latest version.

3. Collect documents and signatures digitally

Workers upload licences, insurances and certifications to their own profile, and read, acknowledge and e-sign policies and safety documents online. Admins review and approve documents in a verification workflow, and request resubmission of anything that isn’t right.

Every document and signature is stored securely against the worker’s record, ready for audits.

4. Let Altora keep records up to date

Training records, documents and completions are stored in one place, with real-time reporting on who has completed what. Altora sends automatic reminders before licences, insurances, certifications and inductions expire, and assigns refresher training when it’s due.

No more spreadsheets, filing cabinets or manual reporting.
