I have recently started working in a small HR department in a medium-sized company (150 employees) and we are trying to switch from the current paper-based record keeping system to electronic records wherever possible. 

I'm hoping for some advice from others who are already doing this; in particular, how do employees digitally sign documents? For example, induction documents that require a signature - can anybody share any advice on the practicalities of this? Other than printing a paper copy then scanning the signed version, which defeats the object in some ways. We don't have any dedicated HR software and are probably a few years away from this yet. 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
