Your site can top-tier safety reputation and procedures in place, but if your contractors aren’t aligned, it can fall apart. Ensuring that contractors are vetted, that trainings are in-date, and that induction procedures are adhered to, are bare minimum expectations for a business using contractors.
Failing to comply with these requirements result in a business becoming a liability hotspot. Contractor management isn’t just additional admin work, it is protection for people and brand reputations.
Unlike full-time employees, contractors often travel across multiple sites and may not always be aware of the protocols that individual sites have. Without having a clear, structured approach in achieving the expectations you set for full-time employees, a business may face:
Overlooking contractor risk will become a thorn in the side of a business down the line, as it becomes a weak point in your safety and compliance chain. Therefore, it deserves full attention.
Whether you are onboarding a single worker or managing dozens of locations, a contractor manager can give you the ability to track credentials and have a clear understanding of what is expected for your business.
With the FlexManager contractor manager module, clients have the ability to manage all aspects relating to contractors, from automated notifications of expiring documents, training, reviews, tasks, and online inductions from a single location, using our interconnected modules.
This module is robust, integrating with other relevant FlexManager modules and applications to provide businesses with a single comprehensive contractor manager solution to meet business needs.
Contractor management does not need to be messy. With the right tools, it becomes a streamlined process that boosts transparency and builds trust between internal and external partners. By prioritizing contractor management, you are not just reducing risk – you’re creating a site that runs more efficiently, with less uncertainty.
