That safety is a prerequisite to everything else. Before your employees can be productive and profitable, they first need to be safe and secure. Ensuring that security requires managing all sorts of documents – training manuals, legal forms and so on.
What if managers could simply use a straightforward paperless process?
Lately, a key question has arisen at many places of business – what if we could make that document management process more efficient? What if, instead of sifting through piles and piles of forms just to find the one they needed, managers could simply use a straightforward paperless process?
Many are currently doing just that. Is it time for your company to make the transition?
What it takes to effect change
If your organisation is like most, it's got an extensive work site safety checklist with a lot of boxes to check off. Employees need to be trained, machinery needs to be tested and well maintained, and so on. This process is difficult, but it's far easier if you have a procedure for going paperless and organising all your information digitally.
For example, across the ditch, the Australian government has established a "digital transition policy." This framework has a few key objectives. First, the goal is to enlist senior management to support the paperless movement and provide necessary resources. Second, they want to reduce their existing paper stockpiles by digitising old documents. Finally, they also aim to manage incoming data seamlessly without sacrificing productivity.
Nurturing the ongoing process
As the digitisation process goes on, it will be difficult to sustain momentum. Going paperless and staying that way is a team effort. To ensure success, managers must be able to rally the whole staff behind their new digital strategy.
In addition, teams will have to stay mindful of their need for workplace compliance. Government regulations can be pretty stringent when it comes to occupational safety, and staying compliant is important.
