CONTRACTOR ONBOARDING

Contractor Representative

A representative from the external contracting company who will be responsible for the completion of all assigned tasks within the Lucidity system.

Contractor Manager

A representative from the internal organisation who is responsible for the management of the contracting company, often both within and outside of the Lucidity system.
This does not necessarily need to be a "Manager" within the organisation, rather the individual managing the company.

Many Lucidity Software modules can be utilised together to manage the full life cycle of companies, contractors and sub-contractors. Lucidity aims to streamline this process and, where appropriate, contractor representatives (administrators from the external company) can be given access to the system to manage their own documents and subcontractors,

...

lightning the administrative burden for the organisation.

Some examples of tasks contractor representatives may be asked to do within the Lucidity system are:

  • Ensure their staff complete company inductions in Lucidity Induction

  • Stay abreast of their requirements via Lucidity Intranet

  • Manage the HR details of their staff in Lucidity HR, including the archiving of sub-contractors

  • Manage the needs and records of their staff in Lucidity Competency, including role allocation and uploading of records and ensuring all remain up-to-date and valid

  • Manage company documents in Lucidity Contractor and ensuring all remain up-to-date and valid

  • Manage company assets in Lucidity Asset

  • Report incidents affecting or involving the organisation in Lucidity Incident

  • Complete form records in Lucidity InForm

  • View permits and isolations in Lucidity Permit to Work

Recommendations

This guide aims to provide suggestions and recommendations but is not a definitive list. Organisations may chose to have contractors manage only 1 or any combination of the above options. This needs to be an internal business decision.

It is, however, recommended that contractor representatives are not asked to manage too many different items in the system. A common approach is inductions, subcontractor records and contractor documents only. This is outlined in more detail in the Contractor Onboarding Workflow section below.

Additional Training

For full and comprehensive training of Onboarding in Lucidity Contractor, please view our Lucidity Contractor Onboarding Training video (25 mins).

Access full and comprehensive eLearning modules for Contractor Representatives or Contractor Managers via the Lucidity Learning Portal. Select the CONTRACTOR ONBOARDING option.

Full training for all Lucidity modules involved in the Contractor Onboarding process are also available here.


IMPLEMENTING CONTRACTOR MANAGEMENT

Once decisions have been made regarding the exact requirements and responsibilities expected of Contractor Representatives, there are several different approaches which can be taken when it comes to implementing contractor management in Lucidity. These include implementing the full process with a small number of contractors as a pilot, or implementation part of the process with all contractors. It is generally not suggested that the full process is implemented from day one with all contractors, without a trial period or pilot to test the process and become familiar.

...

Info

Best Practice

It is recommended to implement contractor management progressively, initially with 1 or 2 modules to a small group of contractors. This allows the process to become familiar to all involved, and to make any adjustments prior to rolling out to the full contractor database. In this way organisations can select the contractors with whom they will engage in the initial stages, and Contractor Representatives are able to provide feedback to improve the process before the wider roll-out.

The following is a basic checklist of tasks which need to occur prior to the implementation of contractor management. Where relevant, links to user guide instructions have been included:

Once all set up is complete, the process with the contractor representatives can begin.

The following is a basic workflow outlining the steps required to allow contractor representatives to:

  • Create their own self-registered profile in Lucidity Induction

  • View the status of their staff's inductions

  • Convert/approve their staff's profile to Lucidity HR and associated induction record to Lucidity Competency

  • Assign training roles to their staff and upload licences, tickets, qualifications etc

  • Manage the HR details of their staff, including archiving

  • Upload required company documents in Lucidity Contractor

This is not a definitive list and each organisation may change the workflow to suit individual needs. Where relevant, links to user guide instructions have been included:
