About This Automation

Site induction onboarding requires HR to manually gather documents from multiple locations, assemble signature packets, and chase workers for signed returns via email. This process is slow, error-prone, and leaves compliance gaps.

Automated induction pulls all required documents, sends them for digital signature, tracks completion in real time, and updates HR records automatically. New hires complete induction in 1-2 days instead of 5-7, with a complete audit trail.

Key features:
Automatically fetch and assemble induction documents from centralized storage
Send digital signature requests with automatic reminders to new hires
Track document completion and flag missing or unsigned forms in real time
Update HR records and notify site managers when induction is complete
Generate compliance audit trail for every new hire induction cycle

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. New Hire Createdtrigger

A new worker record is created in the HR system or hire date is set. The automation receives the hire details including name, role, start date, and site.

2. Fetch Induction Documents

The automation retrieves the standardised induction document package from a central repository. All required forms and checklists are assembled automatically.

3. Create Signature Request

The automation creates a signature request with all induction documents. The request is pre-populated with the new hire's name and email.

4. Send Signature Request

The automation sends a personalised email signature link. The email includes a clear deadline and instructions.

5. Monitor Signature Completion

The automation monitors the request and waits for the new hire to complete and sign all documents. A reminder is sent if not completed within 2 days.

6. Log Completion

Once all documents are signed, the automation logs the completion status, timestamps, and document links for audit and record-keeping.

7. Notify

The automation sends a notification to the site manager and HR team confirming induction completion and readiness for the worker's first day.
