New Hire Orientation
Processes and paper trails are always trending! Over the past few years, we’ve noticed the burden that additional regulations have placed on small businesses. With increased difficulty obtaining staff, the last thing a hiring manager needs is a lax new hire orientation process. Time is so vital!
Our Cascade QMS administrative support team are gurus when it comes to time management.
Here are our top 4 most common time wasters:
1. Interviewing Process:
As a hiring manager in a small company, you’re likely to be multitasking interviews with other vital operational functions. Map out an interview process (Interview Itinerary) and follow it with every potential hire. Using the Cascade QMS Interview Itinerary will ensure proper time management as you interact with your applicants. The interview itinerary is a customized guideline that ensures you ask all of the right qualifying questions and perform adequate follow-up procedures.
2. Maintain Current Job Descriptions:
Take a moment to refine your job postings and maintain current job descriptions. As employee requirements and roles change so frequently, we suggest that you review each of them quarterly. There are many online recruiting services that offer fantastic tools to help customize your needs.
Maintaining current job descriptions helps to clearly define your needs, wants, and business structure. You’ll find that a great deal of time is saved when your resources are organized. This also ensures that you properly place employees in positions they are qualified to fill.
Cascade QMS Tip: Always maintain a library of your created documents on a secured hard drive.

Cascade QMS Tip: Login credentials, employee information and client information should be kept in a secured location per your Cascade QMS Cyber Security Safety Program. (Don’t have one? Get one!)
4. Employee Handbook
Here’s the big one. Every company needs a general Employee Handbook that clearly outlines policies. Make the investment to order a customized New Hire Employee Handbook. The contents of this handbook will be specific to your new employee’s role, required training, and company standards. Providing your employees with a quality Employee Handbook not only demonstrates your commitment to safety but also acts as a fantastic training and reference tool. Ensure that you spend time covering the contents and sign off on distribution. Put safety in safe hands!
