Onboarding that keeps up with your workforce

In agriculture, hospitality, events, logistics and labour hire, the workforce is always changing. Peak seasons bring a wave of new starters at once, and high turnover means someone is always on their first day.

Every one of them needs to be inducted, trained and compliant before they start, and every delay costs a shift. Running the same induction in person again and again, and chasing forms and licences by hand, takes supervisors away from the work itself.

Altora’s Online Induction System moves the whole process online, so you can onboard ten workers or a thousand in the same way.

Why high-volume onboarding is hard

Everyone starts at once

Peak periods bring large groups of new starters in a short window, and in-person inductions quickly become a bottleneck.

Delays cost shifts

If inductions and paperwork happen on the first day, workers can’t start straight away and supervisors lose hours running sessions.

Paperwork goes missing

ID, licences, declarations and sign-offs on paper are easy to lose, and hard to find when an auditor or incident investigator asks.

Costs rise with every starter

Systems that charge per user get more expensive with every new hire, which hurts most when turnover is high.

1. Let workers register themselves

Share a secure registration link in your job ads, offer letters or labour hire bookings. Workers create their own account, so your admins aren’t setting up logins one by one.

As they register, workers select the programs relevant to them, so they receive the inductions, forms and documents for their role and location. A picker, a packer and a forklift driver each get the right induction for their role and site.

2. Induct workers before day one

Workers complete courses, quizzes, videos and policy acknowledgements in any web browser on their own phone, with no app to download. They upload ID, licences and certifications to their profile and sign declarations online.

Don’t have training content yet? Start with Altora’s course library. Workers with a different first language can display content in their language using browser tools such as Google Translate. See how to onboard a multilingual workforce.

By the time they arrive, they’ve been inducted and their documents are ready to check.

3. Track progress and chase less

See who has registered, who has finished and who still has tasks outstanding from one dashboard. Send reminders to individual workers or bulk notify a whole group, and automatic reminders go out for anything that’s expiring.

Set up document approval workflows to check licences and certifications as they come in, and use real-time reporting to confirm everyone starting this week is ready.

4. Catch anyone who slips through

On busy days, some workers will still turn up without finishing their induction. Add the Check-in System to check induction status and documents when workers sign in, and let them complete their induction on the spot from their own device.

You’ll also have a live record of who’s on site, which matters when headcount changes every day.

5. Keep records between seasons

When the season ends or someone moves on, set them as inactive instead of deleting them. Your current workforce stays accurate, and their induction history, training records and documents are kept safely for audits.

When they come back next season, reactivate their account. Their records are still on file, so you can see straight away what needs renewing, and expiry reminders let them know what to update.

Pricing that suits a changing workforce

High turnover shouldn't mean higher costs. Altora's pricing doesn't change with the number of people you induct.
