Contractor Onboarding, what does this even mean?  There are multiple components to onboarding a contractor, I will dive in below… Organisations or suppliers – Organisations are the companies that provide services to your company.  Commonly organisations or suppliers will provide to your company insurances to confirm they are insured should anything go wrong while they provide a service. Some companies will need to hold more insurance coverage than others.  Most common in Australia for example is Public Liability Insurance, Professional Indemnity Insurance, Business Insurance, and Workers Compensation Insurance.

There is normally no pass/fail rate just questions to answer with […]

One of the most common requirements for customers today managing contractors before any compliance comes into play like inductions, insurances, licenses and more is the simple sign in and sign out process.

Some common examples include… Contractor turns up at 7:05 but writes 7:00 – multiply this by thousands of contractors and it all adds up. 2000 […]

Orica like many corporate companies today discovered they had a mix of manual systems in place, to manage visitors and contractors signing in their presence on site, while some locations had older style electronic visitor management solutions to manage the presence and compliance of visitors and contractors. Orica needed to find a way to centralise the visitor and contractor processes across multiple locations while giving each location the ability to build out the software with location-specific requirements like inductions. Typically inductions can be 30 to 40 pages long delivered manually […]

Pop up events can require large work forces to complete large amounts of work in short periods of time. A car race for example can be built into city streets like the Melbourne Grand Prix, Monte Carlo Grand Prix – Circuit De Monaco and the granddaddy of all street circuits is, of course, Monaco: quite literally as it’s been running since 1929.

We have written about this subject a lot over the past 8 years. It is now easier than ever before to have employees and contractors complete inductions for compliance. Historically and still today inductions are completed on paper, that is you sit down at a desk and complete the induction handed to you by reading the content and completing the questions connected to the information you have read and then you do it all again in 11 months time as the renewals start to occur. A recent collection of over […]

After a very successful implementation at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital at Camperdown NSW by Time & People Pty Ltd Sydney Local Health District (SLHD) have added Concord Hospital to the centralised Visitor, Contractor and Induction management system.  SLHD had an existing visitor contractor management software solution that was causing issues in a number of areas. Next hospital on the list is Sydney Dental. SLHD needed a better way to centralise contractor information across multiple locations including inductions. SLHD also took advantage of the insurance module to list copies of suppliers […]

It is amazing to think that it was only June 29th 2007 when the Apple iPhone hit the market. It will be 10 years in 2017. As technology has continued to evolve and just about every single working person on the planet has a smart phone it was only a matter of time before inductions were made available on a mobile phone. Every day I hear people talk about the delivery of the induction and the issues associated with a contractor turning up on site that has not completed the […]
