Challenges & Solutions

Problem 1New starters completed lengthy paper induction packs that HR had to manually collect, check for completeness, and file — often resulting in missing signatures or incomplete sections.
SolutionBuilt a guided Power Apps induction form with mandatory field validation, ensuring every section, acknowledgement, and signature is captured correctly before submission.
Problem 2HR had no visibility into which new joiners had completed their induction, leading to delays in approving site access for incomplete records.
SolutionImplemented an automated HR review workflow in Power Automate that routes completed inductions for approval and updates a real-time status dashboard.
Problem 3Paper induction records were stored in physical files, making retrieval for audits or compliance checks slow and inconsistent.
SolutionConfigured automatic secure storage in SharePoint, with each induction record version-controlled and instantly searchable for audits and compliance reviews.
