The Case for Going Paperless in Staffing

Written by Workstaff Team | Apr 7, 2025 2:26:28 PM

Why going paperless might be the upgrade your agency didn’t know it needed.

If your team is still relying on PDFs, email attachments, or printed forms to collect staff information, it's time to rethink the process. Going paperless doesn’t just reduce clutter — it makes your staffing operations faster, more accurate, and more scalable.

Here’s why more agencies are making the switch:

 

1. Faster Onboarding, Less Admin Chasing

Paper forms often mean staff forget to submit something, or you’re left digging through inboxes. With digital document collection, you can:

  • Track who’s submitted what, in real time
  • Send reminders directly from the platform
  • Centralize everything in one place — no more juggling folders or Google Drives

It’s a smoother experience for staff and managers.

2. Stay Organized and Audit-Ready

Lost contracts? Expired IDs? These are avoidable with built-in reminders and easy access to staff documents.

  • See which documents are missing or outdated at a glance
  • Quickly download or share documents when clients or auditors request them
  • Reduce compliance risk without extra effort

3. Keep It Secure

Paper documents can be misplaced or seen by the wrong person. Digital storage keeps everything encrypted and centralized—minimizing risk and ensuring sensitive files are safely accessible only through staff accounts. No more loose paperwork—just secure, organized access.

4. Scale Without the Paper Pile

As your roster grows, so does your document management headache — unless it’s automated. Digital workflows scale effortlessly, whether you’re managing 30 staff or 300.
