Onboarding a new employee is often the most overlooked part of the hiring process, yet one of the most critical aspects.  It is important that new employees are informed and trained about all aspects of the organization that are critical to them being able to complete their job successfully and safely.

New employees are not the only people who are often forgotten or left unprepared for their role.  What about “temp employees” that often fill some of the most difficult to fill roles?  Who ensures that they are informed and properly trained? What protections are in place to make sure they are not injured on the job?  Often the “temp agency” provides the basic safety training necessary, but who ensures that the location specific training is completed?

We recently read an interesting article that compares the use of temp workers in many countries including the United States.  Some of the details are shocking.

One way to make sure that no one is left behind is to ensure your organization has developed an employee onboarding process that makes sure no detail is missed.  Additionally, an employee Learning Management System (LMS) that includes temporary employees can manage the training curriculum, delivery, testing and reporting critical to the safety and health of all workers whether they be full-time, part-time, or temp.
