\"Clarifying<\/p>\n

When staff are clear about what they are required to know, think and do in their roles, they are more likely to continue on to become valuable employees.<\/p>\n

Doing away with paperwork helps close the gap between best intentions and best practice in childcare centres. This was the topic of our recent webinar with processes expert, speaker and coach\u00a0Beth Cannon<\/a>, which focused on the creation of digital training manuals to replace bulky paper folders.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Beth is a self-proclaimed \u2018processes improvement nerd\u2019 who works alongside childcare centres in streamlining systems to ensure the back end is running smoothly, so that managers can focus on the most important part of any centre: the people.<\/p>\n

Throwing out that hefty folder<\/h4>\n

Beth recommends editing existing staff manuals, deleting whatever is not needed or out-of-date, and organising the points into five categories: culture, connection, compensation, compliance and curriculum.<\/p>\n

The manual is then transformed into modules – headed by each of these categories – which can be absorbed by the newcomer in their own time. Using media such as voice recordings or even TikTok videos, the online manual transforms into an asset for staff members, who are more likely to retain the information it contains. There is also less likelihood of details being missed by busy managers, who may forget to pass on important points.<\/p>\n

This generation has been brought up in the digital age<\/h4>\n

This new generation of team members are hardwired to learn from online tools rather than textbooks, which is what makes the digitised systems in 1Place Childcare so valuable. Beth says that new staff are most likely to quit in the first 30-60 days, often because they don\u2019t feel supported. Having systems digitised and making them as simple as possible to follow means staff can easily check they are doing the right thing.<\/p>\n

This will help staff to feel more confident in their roles on a day-to-day basis and ensure that any slips or mistakes are flagged and taken care of. They may also be more satisfied with their employee experience, as according to a recent Ultimate Software survey, 92% of employees say that having the technology necessary to do their job efficiently affects their satisfaction at work.<\/p>\n

Manual processes tend to mean that accuracy suffers<\/h4>\n

Meeting compliance is a key reason for going digital for many centres. Having all the paperwork ready for when the inspector calls means less stress and hassle for management. Being clear in what is needed for the centre to comply, and ensuring all staff are on the same page around policies for licencing, allows everyone to have the peace of mind to get on with their jobs without worrying that something is being missed. 1Place\u2019s free customisable checklists make this an easy process.<\/p>\n

Digitising systems can also mean real savings in terms of paper and printing costs. A paper-free workplace has the added benefit of being the more environmentally friendly option and can be a way to show that you walk the \u2018green\u2019 talk with your centre\u2019s children.<\/p>\n

Focusing on the human element<\/h4>\n

Having these processes easily accessible and monitorable means managers can focus on their employees as people, ensuring they are happy and supported in their roles.<\/p>\n

As Beth says, having a digital onboarding manual and using processes provided in 1Place Childcare means: \u201cYour face time with them is not going over the rules, your face time is connecting to their hearts so they understand who you are.\u201d<\/p>\n
