NW Paper Forum Best PaperCuts Idea Winner!
Linda Olson, Northwest Region, WSDOT
The Northwest Region of the Washington State Department of Transportation wanted a better way of notifying service areas when an employee was hired, changed office or when they left state service. Each service area had their own form that the manager filled out to get services.
The Employee Action Form was created as a more efficient way of notifying service areas. What started as six paper forms became a one-entry online form. It used to take several days and sometimes weeks to get all of the services a new employee needed to do his job.
Now, a manager can input the information into the system, have it approved at a higher level and notify Human Resources along with other service areas in less than a day.
