Automating your work processes with digitised forms
Does your business still use paper-based forms? If so, I’d like to talk to you about digitising the forms that your employees use.
It is frustrating for employees and bad for efficiency when your team are spending too much time on paperwork and less time on the key functions of their job.
Scenario
Katie the receptionist has a minor injury when her chair malfunctions. She doesn’t fill in the paper-based incident form because she is too busy to
(a) find the form
(b) fill in the form
(c) scan, submit and file the form
She doesn’t think it is worth the effort and quite frankly, how much paperwork gets filed and never looked at again?
However, if the company was using an online incident report form, Katie would be more likely to document the incident because it is quicker and easier.
The magic of online forms is how data is collected and managed. So, let’s consider in this scenario that the chair Katie was using has a design fault and there have actually been quite a few similar issues across the business with the same model of chair. Because the data highlights trends with incidents, it is much easier to identify and prevent risks.
If we put our mind to it, there is likely a wide variety of uses in our business for electronic digitised forms;
- Surveys and feedback forms
- HR forms
- WHS forms
- Incident and complaint reports
- Compliance and audit checklists
- Performance review and management documents
Imagine the range of trends that could be highlighted using these forms and how efficient your work practices could be! And imagine how easy writing your reports will be with easy access to this data?
Using online forms;
- Kill less trees and saves on printing costs
- Makes data handling more compliant, easier and efficient
- Increases compliance because the correct form is always the one used and you can set up your forms so that people can’t miss important questions
