Most employers recognise the benefits which training their employees brings to the business. Training in skills appropriate to the role will strengthen an employee’s abilities in their role to a higher level and reduce weak links and thereby reduce risks to the business.
An employee who receives appropriate training, in this case document verification training, will become more competent in their role and better able to fulfil the role to their full potential.
In the modern world a variety of staff from receptionists through HR and Recruitment professionals to managers are involved in the onboarding process of new employees.
Part of that process is to ensure that the company complies with the immigration rules which includes checking and verifying identity documents – Passports Identity Cards, Visas and Biometric Residence Permits in particular.
What is Document Verification Training?
Document Verification is a process used by staff to ensure that documents presented by prospective employees are genuine and that the presenter of the document(s) is the owner.
To ensure the process is robust employers need to ensure their staff have the necessary skills and are suitably trained in appropriate Document Verification techniques.
