Spoiler alert: they’re already built in!
Most normal business operations – hiring, training, quality checks, employee education, surveys, incident reports, etc. are still on paper forms, creating a cloud of paper floating around the office. This means files, secure storage, people to manage it all, and sometimes difficulty locating what you need. You can easily customize those forms with form builder and move them to electronic files – saving time, space, and frustration.

2) Team Evaluations
Everyone looks forward to annual performance evaluations, right? Make it a better experience for everyone by customizing your evaluation forms. Whether it is a document the manager completes, peers, or a self-evaluation, it can quickly be completed from any device and sent to the correct recipient for review.

Constructive feedback is good, but sometimes it is hard to get when an employee is in the room. Send post-evaluations and surveys for team events, orientation, or any type of office event. Employees can fill them out when they have time, in privacy. Seeking feedback for continuous improvement is a best practice for any business, helping to create a great company culture where employees are heard and appreciated.

These forms can go straight where they need to go, and make use of FormDr features like drop-down lists, and required form fields to make sure that they are complete and correct. No more trying to decipher a signature or set of initials, each form will be clearly completed and signed by the responsible person and retained electronically for as long as needed.
4) Staff Education Activities
We all know and love those mandatory education programs. HIPAA, PPE, infection control, and many more that are a critical part of a practice. These programs can be easily loaded into FormDr and added to electronic employee files when complete. Maintain competencies and be ready for any regulatory or legal matter that may come along, while being assured that your staff are trained well and equipped with the right information.
