Keeping track of staff training and certificate expiry dates

An expired food hygiene or first aid certificate is easy to miss until an inspection. Orbis Shift Operations keeps skills and certificates with each staff record and reminds you before they run out.

The problem

Why this is hard without the right tool

Certificates live in a filing cabinet or a spreadsheet nobody checks. Expiry dates pass unnoticed, and when a shift needs a qualified person on site, no one is sure who that is.

How Orbis Shift helps

Step by step

This use case uses Orbis Shift Operations, the add-on to Orbis Shift Core.

  1. 1

    Define the skills you care about

    Create skills and certificates such as food hygiene level 2 or first aid, and say whether they need evidence and an expiry date.

  2. 2

    Record them for each person

    Add issue and expiry dates and upload evidence, which is stored securely and verified by a manager.

  3. 3

    Get reminders before expiry

    Reminders go out at the intervals you choose, for example 90, 30 and 7 days before a certificate expires.

  4. 4

    Plan shifts with the right cover

    Set staffing requirements so each shift has the people and skills it needs.
