Hi All,
I work for a small manufacturing/service company and we will be going through our transition audit to ISO 9001:2015 in September. Our training program documents are a mess. Before my time, there was a general Employee Certification Form that each new employee would get and the Supervisor and employee would each initial and date the lines that applied to them (e.g. Inspector, Non-conforming material). Then if someone was cross trained, we would need to dig out the training form and add the new information.
We have decided to obsolete this form in favor of multiple more detailed forms. There is a New Hire Training form with the basics and then a separate training form for each main position on the production floor. This way there is (hopefully) more control on what and how the supervisors are training their employees. I think this is a great step and I plan to put together a training matrix to keep track of these new documents.
What is the best way to implement this change? If we keep these documents just for new hires, what do we do about old forms being filled out incorrectly? I feel like we need a clean slate and should just re-train everyone using all the new forms. This would be a lot of work and everything is designed for a new hire (or for someone new to that position) so it is all things that current employees *should* already know. What would you do?
Thanks for taking the time to read!

but you can tell how frustrated we all are that HR wants to do this and the Supervisors are up for it. We have had issues in the past about getting dates correct so we are little nervous to put old dates on new forms. But I would love to not have to go back searching through the old forms to find what I need. How would I go about grandfathering current employees? What would that look like?
